Thankful Thursday 💜
This week, we’d like to recognize and thank our friends at Yes K9 for the incredible support they have provided to Jovie and her foster family.
If you’ve met Jovie, you know she is an amazing dog with a huge personality and an even bigger heart. Like many dogs, she has had a few behavioral challenges to work through, including resource guarding her foster mom’s attention. While Jovie’s intentions come from a place of love and attachment, we knew she deserved the opportunity to learn healthier ways to manage those emotions.
That’s where Sean and the team at Yes K9 stepped in.
Over the past several weeks, they have worked alongside Jovie and her foster, helping build confidence, improve socialization skills, and teach effective redirection techniques. Their guidance has not only helped Jovie make tremendous progress but has also equipped her foster with the tools needed to continue setting her up for success.
We are excited to share that Jovie has been making incredible strides. She has been mastering obedience skills such as sit, down, stay, and loose-leash walking, while continuing to grow in her ability to manage her emotions and focus in challenging situations.
Partnerships like this are invaluable to rescue organizations. Sometimes a dog simply needs a little extra guidance, and having trusted professionals in our community who are willing to invest their time, knowledge, and support can make all the difference in helping a dog find and keep a successful forever home.
Jovie is still searching for that forever family. She would do best with an experienced adopter who can continue building upon the foundation that has been established through her training. She loves adventure and has enjoyed hiking, running, kayaking, paddle boarding, and more. While she does well with children, she should be the only pet in the home at this time.
We are incredibly grateful to Yes K9 for believing in dogs like Jovie and for being a valued community partner. Their willingness to help dogs work through challenges gives so many animals a better chance at finding lasting homes.
