More About Jade

Jade was a stray that was picked up by Animal Services on October 1, 2009. She was never claimed and no other group was willing to take her in this condition. UnderDog saw past the missing hair, goopy eyes, infected ears and the growl and decided to pull her from the shelter.

Jade is a sweetie! No wonder she was growling, she feels miserable. In reality, once out of the shelter, she is a love. She likes to snuggle, enjoys being held like a baby, walks well on a leash and is patient as I administer her medications and clean out her eyes. The vet diagnosed her with a cold and bad flea allergies. We are hoping that given a couple weeks of love and medical attention she will fatten up and feel a lot better. Given a few months, she will be gorgeous. All she needs is time and attention.

If you can help with Jade's recovery, please send in a donation. If you are interested in adopting Jade, please submit an application. Her adoption fee is $250 to help cover her medical expenses.

All UnderDogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm checked, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and heartworm/flea/tick preventatives. For consideration for one or more dogs, we require that an on-line application is filled out. Go to www.UnderDog.Petfinder.com for our application. Sorry, we do not adopt outside of Florida. Applicants are subject to a home visit, and veterinary references will be checked. Please include a vet reference (including phone number) when applying online.



Our application process:


FIRST, an application must be approved for adoption from our rescue.


SECOND, we determine whether the dog that has been applied for is a "good match" for the household that wants to adopt him/her. We take into consideration the dog's activity level, compatibility with other members of the household (human and other pets), etc.


If your application has been approved, but the dog you applied for is no longer available, please take the time and look over our adoptable dogs again. We will make every effort to find the right dog for an approved applicant.


We hope you agree and understand that our goal to find the best forever home is our #1 priority!


Jade is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
