Jolly is in MAINE! Mixed Breed Scarborough, ME

Jolly is a 45lb mixed breed dog with a DOB of 7/11/22. He arrived to us from a rescue in Mississippi that was closing their doors after many years of rescuing dogs! Jolly didn't have a lot of socialization. He is a work in progress that continues to improve each and every day! He is looking for an understanding family that is willing to put in the time and effort that it will take to help Jolly be the best he can be!

He has a sensitive soul and a sweet, cuddly, medium-to-low energy that just about anyone can appreciate. He is crate trained and house trained. He would be most comfortable in a quiet home, in a quiet setting.

He's especially partial to women, although he seems to equally enjoy the company of his foster Dad, now. Jolly really does enjoy having another dog in his home. He does however need the slow and proper introduction to his dog friends. Jolly has low confidence while out and about and does not do well when other dogs invade his space. This is where is he has been working with a trainer, to gain his confidence. He has done wonderful with the cat in his foster home as well!

This is what his dog trainer had to say about him:

"He is very dog friendly and can begin his socialization process with dogs. He is hesitant in new settings and needs repeated exposure to gain confidence. He needs more socialization from unfamiliar people, but he is resilient and will improve. His confidence will grow with positive experience

He has a nice temperament, he needs "skills" to learn how to get to things".

We really would love to see him have a fenced in yard at home, so that he can get some additional independent playtime, while feeling secure.
