Jasmine Pit Bull Terrier Mix Oklahoma City, OK

This is what fostering looks like, from Jasmin's foster mom.

Meet this pretty girl, Jasmin. She sure was a sad case when I brought her home. She slept underneath the car in the garage the 1st night. She was terrified so I let her stay there. I set up food, water and a blanket next to the car.

Jasmin was rescued from CoalGate, OK, I think from the shelter. She had puppies, had mange, and was malnourished. The 2nd day she stayed mostly on my back patio in the rain. I finally got her in the house and she only would stay in her large kennel with plenty of food.

I would pay attention to her and would try to pet her but she was not having it. So I went about my daily business and would acknowledge her, let her out, feed her with small touches.

The biggest impact was my own dogs. She would begin to hang with them but stay her distance from me. Jasmin watched how they interacted with me. If they could trust me she could too. It wasn't too long before she was sleeping on the bed. She developed trust through my own dogs.

That why fostering is so important to dogs/pups/cats. Socializing them gives them an advantage of finding a forever homeforever.

She loves to play with the ball, her brindle coat is filling in, she has gained weight, she was already potty trained, and she loves to run in the field with my dogs. She also loves to cuddle and give lots of kisses.

She is a hound/Pittie mix about 35/40 lbs. She is spayed and current on her shots. She is learning manners with her leash. She is about 3 years old and definitely gets along well with other dogs. Not sure about cats. She loves my grandbabies.
