Hound - Jewel, Aka Ella - Medium - Young - Female - Dog
Update: (4-06-12) Jewel has tested positive for Lyme disease. She is undergoing treatment and waiting patiently for her forever home to come along. Update (1-25-12) - Sadly, our Jewel is being returned to rescue. She is now called Ella and the following information comes directly from her former adopter: Ella is a one year-old hound mix who now weighs 65 lbs. She is sweet and beautiful and lovably silly. She is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations and heart-worm preventative. Her owners have had her for six months and have worked with her on obedience training, including with a professional trainer (pack-leader style training, a la Cesar Milan). Ella is excellent heeling on leash-walks, knows sit and down, will go to her bed (crate) and stay there with the door open until you release her, will come when called (though she needs work with recall in high-distraction situations). Ella lives with another dog and they do well together. She also plays with lots of other dogs off-leash at the dog park every morning and loves to run, although she should be supervised because she can be rambunctious, i.e. she is still young and her social skills are in-formation. After a good exercise session in the morning, Ella sleeps peacefully all morning long until her afternoon walk. Ellas owners have sadly decided to give her up for adoption because, while she and their other dog get along fine most of the time, Ella has a strong food drive and food aggression issues. Her owners have not been able to successfully address this, so Ella gets aggressive toward their other dog when food or treats are involved. They live in a small studio apartment and feel they cannot continue to manage this due to lack of space. Ella will do best in a household with no other dogs, or in a household with other dogs in the country with lots of room to run. She is a great, loveable dog who has just not yet found the right situation. Please consider Ella as she deserves a home where she can be happy and have some space to let her true hound personality shine. 6-25-11 - Jewel is a sweet, young pup who was in a bad situation. She was picked up as a stray dog and taken to a high-kill shelter. Some kind person wanted to save Jewel but could not take her into rescue. They sponsored her vetting to try to get another rescue to get her to safety. We took her in gladly. Once we saw that sweet face, we would have taken her whether the vetting was paid for or not. But, the sponsorship was a plus. Jewel is about five months old and weighs about 35 lbs. Jewel is now up-to-date with her shots and spayed. She is ready and waiting for her "forever" family to find her. She is very sweet and playful and loves to run around and play with other dogs. Jewel would make a welcome addition to just about any home! If you would like to give Jewel the wonderful home that she has been longing for, please visit our website at and complete our online application. Thank you for considering a rescued houndie girl!!
