JASMINE - AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier (medium coat). Jasmine came into TJO with her skin in pretty rough shape. She's currently receiving medication and weekly medicated baths to help her skin heal, as well as a special diet in case her condition is allergy related. She's a big fan of food and would do best with a family that will let het have her own space while she eats, as well as a slow feeder to keep her from eating too fast. OTHER PETS: Jasmine took a few minutes to start engaging in play with another dog, but she got along well once she did! She would likely get along best in the home with another dog that can match her in play, but also knows how to settle individually. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Jasmine would likely do best with someone that has prior experience with dogs that have allergies or skin conditions, to ensure they are prepared in knowing what to expect and what to look for. [Some Experience] KIDS: Jasmine is very food and scent motivated, but can be intense about her food and possessions. She would do best around kids that are old enough to understand how to interact with her and when to let her have her own space to ensure there is no unnecessary sense of conflict. 15+ ACTIVITY LEVEL: Jasmine is an excitable girl that loves to run around with her people, but settles well when she realizes that play time is over. She would love going for walks around the neighborhood and eventually hiking with further positive reinforcement training. And due to her interest in new smells and treats, she would also be a great candidate for scent work games to help keep her mind happy! [Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: Jasmine was found to have a very minor heart murmur, but was otherwise physically healthy. It is currently unknown whether her skin condition is due to environmental or dietary allergies, so she will do best with someone that has a good relationship with their vet to ensure that she gets the care she needs, even after her skin heals. [Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Jasmine has a good amount of energy when she's excited and may be jumpy. She will do best learning with someone who can offer both patience and confidence while she adjusts to her new environment at home. Positive reinforcement training will help Jasmine not only learn her basic cues & skills, but also help her to bond with her new owner. [Minimal] GROOMING: Jasmine is currently receiving medicated baths to help heal her skin and encourage new, healthy fur to grow in. It's possible that she may need to continue her shampoo treatments occasionally throughout her life if her allergies were to flare up again. [Routine Bathing]
