Jewels the Terrier

I wanted to touch base with you because… …this past Saturday was our one month anniversary of our adoption of Jewel. By the way, we’d initially gone to look at Madison but found her energy to be too high for our lifestyle. While we were discussing Madison in the parking lot volunteers were walking dogs by us to the park across the street and out of the building came Jewel. I took one look at her and said to my husband, “Honey, look at her! She’s beautiful!” The volunteer heard me and walked Jewel closer to us. Jewel pressed her body against my husband’s legs from behind and walked around in front of him and sat on his feet! She indeed picked him. We hung out with her for about 10 minutes before adopting her on the spot! When our Claudia died on 11/4/09 I had been praying every day to be shown beyond a shadow of a doubt the perfect dog for us. After having Jewel home one day we renamed her “Jordan” which is my maiden name and suits her personality. Jordan is an absolute joy to live with! She’s so loving and cuddly, smart and fun. She loves children and family gatherings. Jordan has learned easily and quickly how to sit/stay, down/stay, comes when called and walk on a leash with a gentle leader. She does not jump up on anyone when they walk into our home. She’s an angel. When we brought her home she weighed in at 44 pounds with her back bone and ribs showing. As of this morning she’s now 49.5 pounds and continuing to fill in. She’s enjoying her Wellness diet. Jordan walks every morning one to two miles, plays ball (chase and catch) every evening in the back yard with her new mom and dad and has play dates with her American Staff. Terrier girlfriend 3 days a week for at least one hour. She has four toy baskets around the house and is constantly running around playing with different toys throughout the day when she’s not napping on our bed, in her bed, her chair or the living room floor. We LOVE HER so much. I have spoken highly of Judy’s Rescue to many people and will continue to do so. My husband and I were both impressed with the volunteers we met during our adoption process and how candid they were with sharing the personalities of each dog we were interested in. Jordan is a PERFECT fit for us. Thank you so much for all of your time and energy during this process. Sincerely, Suzan Joiner
