Jackie is an adorable brindle girl who is shy but oh so loving. This little angel was one of 12 Cairns relinquished to Cairn Rescue USA by an elderly “back yard breeder” who was keeping her dogs in rabbit cages in a rustic outdoor shelter. Jackie and her fellow Cairns were very underfed and starved not only for food but for attention as well.
Although she never had the benefit of having toys to play with, Jackie is starting to interact with the toys in her foster home and every day she appears more relaxed and comfortable in her surroundings.
Right now, Jackie has gravitated towards her foster dad and is most comfortable in his presence. In time, she will become more comfortable with the other family members but for now, she is cautious.
Jackie’s foster dad describes her best qualities as “Loving, Intelligent, Quiet and Cute”. Her biggest challenge–and one that she is most definitely up to–is learning how to transition from “breeding stock” to “cherished family pet” and with patience and kindness, she will get there!
Currently, Jackie is the only dog in her home but she does get along with other dogs and would likely do well in a home with another dog her size.
In her previous life, Jackie “went potty” in her small enclosure and now she needs to learn proper potty habits. Her foster dad reports that she is doing very well in this department but needs to learn to “signal” when she needs to go out. Like so many other skills, this will come in time.
Jackie is very comfortable in her crate and at night, she stays in her kennel and is very quiet. And she walks very nicely on a leash although the “great outdoors” is still a big, scary world for her and she likes to stay close to her foster dad on walks.
Jackie is as sweet and loving as she is pretty and she will make a wonderful “forever dog” for the right family. Because she has missed out on human interaction for most of her short life, she would do best in a home where someone is home for the majority of the day. A quieter home would be preferred with patient parents who are willing to work with Jackie as she finetunes her potty training and socialization skills. She would likely do well with another dog who could show her the ropes as only another dog can. At this time, Jackie has not been exposed to children but as we learn more about her personality, we will update her profile.
