she's already looking and feeling much better. She is still currently receiving medication and a perscription diet to help her skin heal, and will likely need above average vet care to ensure that she continues to age gracefully. OTHER PETS: Jenna got along with other dogs while at TJO, but she tends to prefer dogs of a similar energy level, so she would likely get along best with a calm dog that she can co-exist with . [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Jenna would do best with someone that has an established relationship with a vet, and experience with positive reinforcement. [Some Experience] KIDS: Though Jenna is tolerant, she is older, and would likely do best in a home with less activity and noise. She would get along best with kids that are able to understand how to interact with her and when to let her have her own space. Interactions between children and dogs should always be actively monitored to ensure that both parties remain comfortable and safe. [Likely (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Though Jenna is entirely a lap dog, she does have a bit of a playful streak! During her time at TJO she has shown that she absolutely loves tennis balls, and loves to chase them as they roll, but mixing games up with a combination of regular exercise/play, and mental enrichment will help meet her needs. [Couch Potato] VETERINARY CARE: Jenna is an older dog that arrived at TJO with some bad skin and a sensitive trachea. She is currently being treated for her skin, and will need a harness to ensure that her trachea is not agitated. She will need ongoing care with a vet to ensure that she continues to age gracefully. She is also currently on Hill's Prescription Diet Z/D Hydrolyzed Dog Food to help maintain her skin. Jenna also tested positive for Lyme Disease and is currently being treated for symptoms. She will require a great relationship with a vet to help manage all of her pre-existing conditions. [Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training, even if just a little, will help her learn new skills and tricks, and help her build confidence while bonding with her guardian.[Minimal] GROOMING: Because of her fur type, Jenna will need to be brushed often to ensure that she does not develop any knots or matts. As her fur grows out, she would likely do well with consistent professional grooming appointments every 6-8 weeks. [Routine Brushing / Professional Grooming]
