Contact Information For more information or to meet Jabari, please contact his owner directly: Email: tomicka.thomas13gmail About Jabari Breed: Terrier/Poodle mix Age: 3 years Color: Black, white & tan Gender: Male (not neutered) Vaccines: Not current Location: Sacramento, CA Reason for Rehoming: Not comfortable living with very young children; nervous in a busy household Jabari has been with his owner since he was a young dog and is affectionate with adults he trusts. He is being rehomed to find a calmer, child-free environment where he can feel confident and safe. Important Behavior Notes (Full Transparency) Jabari can be fearful, especially around children or when startled. This fear has led to some concerning behaviors: Has bitten once when scared (broke skin; no stitches required) Has shown growling, snarling, lunging, and snapping when nervous Barks and lunges at visitors from inside his crate Does not like having food or toys taken from him He is crate trained and feels more secure when he has his own space. Because of these behaviors, Jabari needs an experience dog owner, preferably someone familiar with fear-based behaviors and positive reinforcement training. ✨ Positive Traits & Personality Very affectionate once he feels safe Bonds closely with his caregiver Loyal and attentive Has lived primarily indoors Crate trained He truly wants to be loved — he just needs the right environment and patient adopter. Ideal Home for Jabari Jabari will thrive in a home that is: Adult-only — no children Calm and structured Free of frequent visitors Willing to continue training and confidence-building Ideally without other pets (slow, experienced homes may consider) His new family should take things slow and allow him to decompress at his own pace. Veterinary Notes Jabari has not seen a veterinarian recently and is not current on vaccines. His future adopter should be ready to schedule a vet visit and discuss neutering. All animals are up-to-date on vaccinations (including rabies if over 4 months old), microchipped, and spayed or neutered. All dogs have been been vaccinated with DHPP and Bordatella (kennel cough) and heartworm tested negative (if over 6 months). All cats have been vaccinated with FVRCP and current on flea control.
