Foster Friday: Jewel

This week's foster is Jewel. This little girl is impossibly adorable! Please help circulate her around so she can find that forever home. You'll be saving two lives! Once there is an opening another foster can come into the rescue ;)



Foster Dog’s Name? Jewel
Breed? I’m told I’m a cocker spaniel.
Gender? Female
Altered? Yes
Age? Somewhere around 8 years -- never ask a female to tell her age.
Potty trained? Yes
Crate trained? Yes, but I prefer to be with my humans
Cat safe? Yes
Dog friendly? For the most part. I really don’t like hyper dogs, especially puppies. I tend to growl when other dogs come into my face or butt. I prefer the calmer dog who minds their manners until I warm up, then I am ok.
Kid friendly? I think I like children. I do not live with any but when I go to out to visit, walk or dog events, I do allow children to pet me, especially belly rubs.



Fence jumper? No, are you kidding, not lady like.
Happy as an only dog? Absolutely!! I would be as long as my human spoils me!!
Any meds? (other than HW & Frontline) Only artificial tears 2x a day.
Any other quirks? I eat slowly. I’m quite calm, just want to be with my humans.
Level of sight? I don’t have my left eye anymore. My right eye has a mature cataract and I have limited vision.



Favorite treat? milk bone
Favorite pup food? Right now I eat Verus kibble mixed with water.
Favorite human food? Probably chicken, healthier.
Do you like to chew? Only on toys and bones.
Favorite chewy? Tennis ball
Do you like pedicures? Doesn’t bother me, just use a natural polish.
How do you feel about the couch? I love the couch, especially when you ask me to join you.
Do you prefer snuggling or your own giant bed? I can do both, just let me know what you prefer.



Favorite naughty thing to do? I don’t like hyper dogs, especially puppies, so I growl to let them know to stay away. I knock it off when told, but I really prefer the calmer laid back dogs that we each respect each other’s individual space.
How fast do you zoomie? Are you kidding??? I am a slow poke, unless going for a walk, car ride, or its breakfast and dinner time --- then I must hurry to get there.
What’s your opinion on squirrels? What’s a squirrel?
Opinion on birds? Do they really taste like chicken? What’s a bird? Chicken, did you cook chicken? Can I have some for a snack?



Are you a guard dog at the front door? Or a sleeping laid back pup? Not really a guard dog, but I do have a set of vocal cords on me.
Do you like long walks? I like to walk.
How important is your sleep? Somewhat.
Who is your favorite puppy friend? Not sure, I live with 7 dogs so there is enough to go around, but I like my brothers who know not to engage in play.
Do you like to travel? Oh, yes!!!! I am very good at it.
Where did you travel from? Arkansas to Pennsylvania
Any interesting travel stories? Not really. I hate to brag. My travel was a long 2 day trip.



What do you think of strangers? They are okay, especially if they give me belly rubs.
Favorite toys? Tennis ball – I know, I’m not a golden retriever.
What’s your favorite game to play? I’m too mature to play games.
Opinion on belly rubs? The more the merrier, and if you prefer, we can do belly rubs all day long.
Do you yell at your humans for anything? No, not really. If I want some of what you’re eating, I do put my paw on your leg.
Do you marinate your brains to make them smarter? (sleeping upside down with head off bed or furniture) No. I never learned that trick.
