Acacia's Story

Acacia came to us from our shelter partner in SC on 6/15, after spending three months in the shelter there. She's about 2.5-years-old, 47lbs, spayed female, up-to-date on vaccinations, and heartworm negative. This low rider is SO sweet, a total love bug, and adores people (including strangers). She loves to cuddle and, like most pitties, doesn't know much about personal space. She will follow you anywhere and everywhere so get ready to have a shadow. She's also good with most other dogs! She loves to zoom around. She could likely live with another playful dog or two - we'd just have to do some meet and greets in a fenced-in area first. She is reactive to other dogs *on leash.* She rides well in vehicles, does okay for baths, is tolerant of being crated (after a few initial moments of voicing her displeasure), and she loves treats and toys. She has a great recall, knows "sit" and "down," is learning "stay," knows what "no" and "off" mean, and takes treats gently. We're working on mouthiness when she gets over-aroused, and she does respond well to "no." She's already improved significantly since being here - she's very eager to please and treat motivated. But due to her occasional excited mouthiness and not having boundaries, we think she should not be in a home with young kids, at least while she's still learning what's appropriate. We call her a rocket potato. She's about 50% chill and 50% rocket. She's pretty laid back and is happy to entertain herself with a toy, and every now and then she gets the zoomies. She IS guaranteed to make you laugh every day! You can learn more about our adoption process at jezziesplace.com/adopt, and feel free to reach out to info@jezziesplace.com with any questions.

Jezzie's Place Rescue's Adoption Policy

Our adoption process is dynamic and is focused solely on meeting the needs of the dogs in our care and placing them with the best adopters possible. This may mean multiple meet and greets with humans and/or other dogs, home visit, a short trial period at the new home, special requirements, etc. depending on the dog's needs. We do NOT operate on a first-come first-serve basis, which means we match adopters based on the needs and temperament of the dog, and not who submitted their application first. Please understand that it is not guaranteed that you will be able to adopt a specific dog you’re interested in. What you can expect from the typical adoption process: * Submit an adoption application * After we receive your application, we’ll contact you by email within 2 days * Phone call chat with a rescue team member * Rescue will check veterinary references * Rescue will check landlord reference (if applicable) * In-person visit at Jezzie's Place with rescue dog, everyone who lives in the home, and any other dog(s) that live in the home * Any extra steps needed for the dog’s success and well-being * If all goes well, we schedule a time for you to bring your new dog home (we typically do not do same day adoptions) * Sign adoption contract and pay adoption fee * Welcome your new family member home! When you adopt from Jezzie’s Place, you also receive: * A thorough description of everything we know about your dog: likes, dislikes, fears, favorite toys, play style, quirks, any evals with other animals, etc. * Any medical history we have on your dog: health certificates, exams, vaccine history, surgeries, imaging, treatments, prescriptions, etc. * Small amount of dry food to help transition your dog to whatever food you choose to feed once home (we can offer recommendations if you would like) * Collar * Leash * Continued support and guidance throughout your dog’s life! Support & Guidance Beyond Adoption: We remain committed to our rescue dogs and their adoptive families throughout the dog’s entire life. If there are any problems or concerns with their health or well-being, we are here to help. Adopters can always ask us for advice or guidance! If for any reason during your dog’s life you are unable to keep your dog, you must return your dog to Jezzie’s Place Rescue.
