Hi. I’m Jovi! I’m a sweet girl who LOVES snuggles and squeaky toys. 

My foster mom says I’m a good girl – I don’t chew things that aren’t mine, I rarely bark, I am polite on the leash and I’m a BIG fan of sleeping in! 

I am picky on which dogs I’ll interact with. I am a little scared of the hyper dogs but I will happily greet calm dogs. My foster mom says I’ll have fun playing with dogs once I gain a bit more confidence. I am interested in the neighborhood cats but I give them their space. My foster mom thinks I’d be fine living with a cat or a calm dog, but right now I’m loving being the center of attention at home.

I love meeting new people and I’m good with kids. I really enjoy a good play session with my foster mom, especially if it involves a squeaky toy. But I’m also really good at playing solo when she is busy! I am a low-energy dog so I don’t need a huge yard or an intense play time to tire me out. 

I am housetrained and crate trained, but I don’t love the crate. I have some separation and confinement anxiety. I have been taking medication for this anxiety and it is helping a lot. My foster mom and I are working really hard on overcoming my anxieties and she says I’m improving! It is important that I continue to work on these things in my new home. I might do best in a home where a family member is often home or my parents have the flexibility to work from home. Right now, I am okay with being crated for a couple days of the week, but my foster mom hasn’t pushed it to a full work week. 

I am considered YELLOW since I’m on medication for separation anxiety but it’s really improving! Foster mom says I need someone to be gentle with me as I am a delicate soul.

My ideal day is to be a couch potato with my humans and maybe go for a couple of short walks in between our cuddle sessions. Does that sound fun to you?
