Jasmine in doing extremely well. While still quite
full of energy, she is so much
fun to have around. She's always busy. Whether it is chewing on toys,
chasing
squirrels in the yard or racing against anyone going up or down the
stairs, she's
always doing something. Some of her favorites include
tearing up the bed in the spare room, her toys, hiding
socks, going for rides in the car, running with her buddies at the
dog park, belly
rubs, ice cubes, and the list could go on and on. She's a very special
dog and
although we do spoil her immensely, she is truly grateful for all
of it. She's an
amazing companion and friend.

While in Rescue:
Jasmine— Adopted October 30, 2004
While in rescue: Jasmine was a 7 mth old female-spayed Black/Tan. Jasmine was dumped by her previous owners at a vet where she met her own personal angels. Jasmine had lived her young puppyhood very sick. She was unable to hold down food and had chronic diarrhea and vomiting. Her previous owners never wanted to treat her, so she continued for months in that condition. One day, the kids brought her in to be euthanized for being sick. The vet offered to treat her if they relinquished her to the veterinary office. Thankfully those people did, and her terrible life took a turn for the better. Jasmine met another angel family who provided a loving home for her while the vet treated her and kept an eye on her progress. It turned out that she had pancreatitis and it took a lot of love and care to make her better. A couple months later she was able to hold down food and water and has been doing better ever since. She gained some weight onto her small, thin frame and was starting to look more like a normal happy puppy. She was very tiny and will probably always be a mini-German Shepherd due to the nutrition deficits at such a young age. It was still possible that she could have another growth spurt and surprise us all, but we all knew she will do much better in a home of her own. She needed all the special one-on-one spoiling and loving that she could handle to live a long and happy life after such a rough start. She was very playful with the other dogs and liked the cats. She was very happy go lucky and could wait to go to puppy school and hang out with friends and a new family! She was crate trained and did well, knew sit very well, but was still a high energy happy puppy.
