Jade - Doberman Pinscher and Hound Dog for Adoption in Stratham, New Hampshire

Jade (approximately 50 pounds) was transferred to the NHSPCA from an overcrowded shelter in Texas. She is a super sweet lady who can be initially anxious in new situations but she warms up quickly, especially when some baby talk and a snack treat (or two) are involved. She loves people and is usually at the front of her kennel with her tail wagging, waiting for a walk or a treat. Jade walks well on leash and often has her nose to the ground for a sniffari (get it - a sniffing safari?), which tracks because we believe she is part hound and that breed group is VERY nose-driven. Jade was excellent for her veterinary exam, adding the veterinarian to her ever-growing fan club. She participated in doggie play groups at her previous shelter and loves other dogs - in fact, when she is out on leash and see other dogs, she always gravitates towards them. Jade was living 100% outdoors at her previous shelter, so she will likely need a potty training reminder once she's in her fur-ever home with her beloved (and patient) people. Come meet our gorgeous and affectionate lady Jade today - she is ready to be someone's heart dog!
