Jovi
Jovi had an adoption application pending.
Jovi is 1-1/2 and loves to spend as much time as possible with his people. He likes long walks on the treadmill and outside. He loves toys but stuffed ones are quickly destuffed in minutes. Jovi prefers that all of his people be in the same room, if they are not he will go from room to room to check them all and make sure no one is missing. He bonds quickly with people although he is scared at first and needs his people to hold him and introduce him to new people but he quickly becomes friends. Jovi is strong enough when playing tug of war to pull a 150lb person half off of a leather couch, but when around a 3 year old will not tug hard enough to knock them down.
Jovi shakes with either paw, high fives with either paw, rolls over, and jumps 3-4 feet in the air while clicking his heels. He likes to sleep more during the day than at night. His favorite place is on the bed but he sleeps in a crate too. Jovi loves the animal planet channel and often looks behind the tv to find the animals. He loves jumping and trying to attack the hair dryer, vacuum, and carpet shampooer. Chasing laserlights are his specialty and he will jump 3-4 feet in the air to try to catch one. He loves to chase birds, and wants to play with cats but most won’t let him. He makes friends with most dogs easily and quickly. His groomer says he always picks a favorite dog of the day and that becomes his best friend for duration of his time at the groomer. He is submissive to other dogs and is always looking for approval both from his people and other animal. He loves to lay on his back with his legs in the air when on a bed. He naps often in the evening on a bed and dreams almost every night running and barking in his dreams.
Jovi loves car rides with the windows down, and his long ears flowing in the breeze. He does have some intolerances for venison and beef in his foods. After many foods and antibiotics to overcome a colon infection he does well with Rachel Ray’s Chicken dog food and needs a heaping tablespoon of plain yogurt every morning no matter what food he has. Everyone who meets Jovi loves him; he is beautiful and a true joy. He will add many moments of entertainment to any family. He loves to be chased and will try to get people and dogs alike to chase him.
Jovi does not like black hats, coats, or black bags. Once Jovi gets barking, it is hard to get him to stop, he is OCD and has a hard time getting off task. A gentle leader collar works best when walking. Jovi is best corrected using the nape of the neck as his mother would to remind him who is alpha.
Jovi would prefer a companion pet but if he can not have that he wants a lot of time and attention. He is very affectionate and returns the attention.
