About Jillian

Meet Jillian! If you are looking for a pup with a ton of personality and a lot of love, then Jillian is your girl.

With big amber eyes and a uniquely painted coat, Jillian is a showstopper. She loves all humans she meets and is a huge sweetheart, but does need continued boundary work as she thinks the best way to let others know she is a fan is to get right up into their personal space! However, she is smart and has picked up on cues and commands very quickly.

Jillian is crate trained and has done well being crated for longer periods of time while her foster is at work. When crated, she tends to do better in a high-traffic area so she can observe what is going on around her and not miss out. While Jillian has not been left alone in the house outside the crate for long periods of time, during shorter bouts, she has done really well and usually just ends up lounging in the living room or sunroom.

Jillian is also potty-trained. She has cleared our 3-foot fence to go after squirrels so is currently on a lead even with a fenced-in backyard. As an almost 2-year-old, Jillian still has a lot of youthful energy and looks forward to going for her walk first thing in the morning. And while she has made a lot of progress over the last few months, Jillian does have a high prey drive and exhibits some excitable reactivity as a result.

Jillian does express high interest in playing with other dogs but will require monitoring as she does not always appropriately read social cues. Slow introductions are best for her.

In just a short amount of time, Jillian has learned both the verbal and nonverbal signals for “sit”, “wait”, “hands in”, “stay” and “lie down”. She transports well and loves her weekly outdoor adventures at Fort Snelling.

Overall, Jillian's ideal home is with an active family or person who is patient, is in a house (she does have a heavy bark!) with a high fenced-in yard. If you are ready for a lively spirit, funny personality, and unconditional companionship - look no further than Jillian!
