INTRODUCING JEWEL…and she sure is a sparkler! This lovely charcoal/white, 15 lb, 4 yr old, Lhasa X came to LHH pretty shut down. Jewel had clearly been a baby maker and came into the shelter with three other dogs confiscated from a backyard breeder 🙁 A neighbor called Animal Control in Moreno Valley and complained about the neglect they were getting and they all headed to the shelter. We were told about her and immediately said “yes, please.”

Jewel had never had a collar on, never walked on a leash and she can be stubborn!! Like loading her into the car or showing her something of a new experience. Once she had her makeover (shelter had shaved her matted coat), a few “forced” trips up/down the stairs and the street and now (most of the time) she loves to walk and strut down the boardwalk! This darling girl had never experienced a belly rub before and now she loves and asks for them! She happily greets us and loves going for walks and dinnertime! Once she knows and trusts you…Jewel will bond quickly. She loves to be near you and will come up on the couch and get as close to you as she can! While she doesn’t have separation anxiety, she would rather be with you and/or another dog than be alone. We haven’t seen her “play” but she enjoys company — human and canine. She is new so she is still blossoming and we’re excited to see her bloom.

Jewel seems to be potty trained or will go on a pp pad, but no guarantees at your house. She is very quiet, just starting to give gentle kisses and when she looks at you with those human eyes, you will want to give her anything she wants. Does she sound like a pup who can light up your life? She’s healthy, happy and looking for her forever family…maybe that’s you?
