Jayana

Hi! I’m Jayana and I’m looking for a new family to call my own.  
 
APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR (name) 
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM 
https://forms.gle/SYnWwnCJd7D47TZx7
 
NOTE: You are unable to meet Jayana until/unless you have been notified that you are a successful applicant. An adoption cannot be approved unless you are able to come to the shelter to meet Jayana in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you. 
 
What I need in my new home: 
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard 
• Training with basic doggie manners 
• To be allowed inside with my family 
• A patient family who’ll allow me to grow in confidence in my own time.
• A doggie playmate who is gentle and calm may be okay as boisterous dogs scare me so I will require lots of socialisation with positive experiences with other dogs. 
• A dog friendly cat may be ok with a slow introduction. 
• I arrived at the shelter as a stray so my history is unknown. Due to this, my interaction with cats, pocket pets or fowl that are free roaming in the house or yard is completely unknown. There can be no guarantee that I will be ok living with them
• I like both friendly male and female dogs 
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent) 
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation 
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean 
• A family who promise to keep me well groomed and brush me regularly so I’m always looking and feeling my best 
• Lots of love and attention 
• No young children as I can be shy and nervous, older children who will be involved with my training and understand that they will need to take it slow with me should be ok. 
• Doggy daycare and group socialisation classes would be highly beneficial for me. 
• A submissive dog is the best housemate for me. But, I LOVE LOVE LOVE people, so I'm just as happy being an only dog getting all of your love and attention for myself 
• I LOVE other dogs but I’m a very energetic and playful dog, so I need a doggy playmate who will match my energy levels and playfulness. 
• TRAINING TRAINING TRAINING. It's ESSENTIAL I receive training in all aspects of my life so I can be the best dog I can be when I'm older. 
• SOCIALISATION is as important for me as it appears I've led a very sheltered life and can be a bit nervous/shy in new situations. Since being at the shelter I'm becoming much braver though. Taking me to lots of different places, meeting lots of people (children, men, woman etc) and meeting lots of dogs and other animals will help boost my confidence 
 
Things that I don’t want in my new home: 
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction 
• Not to be allowed inside with my family 
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car 
• No young children as I can be a bit shy in new situations and with new people and little ones may accidently scare me. Older children who will be involved with my training should be ok 
 
My best features: 
• Very playful 
• Wiggle butt 
• Highly food motivated 
• Gentle & placid 
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans 
• I walk well on lead 
• Happy to hang out with other friendly dogs 
• Social butterfly 
• I am clever and eager to learn so would love a family who will teach me some cool tricks. 
• I love attention, hugs, kisses & head scratches 
• Well mannered 
• Love to snooze on the couch 
• I walk well on lead for a young doggo but having daily walks should help me improve my lead skills 
• Exuberant & full of beans 
 
Where I need to improve / Training required 
• I will require full basic training as I've had no training experience yet 
• I'm learning to walk on the lead at the shelter and am getting much better. I'm still a bit slow and fearful but with lots of practice I should soon look forward to a daily stroll around the neighbourhood 
• I love my food & toys so using them as a positive reward should make my training easier. 
• I need further training on my recall as I can ignore you if you're trying to call me back to you 
• I may show signs of anxiety when I'm left alone in the backyard. Leaving me some enrichment toys/treats may help this.  
• As I have not been allowed inside before I am not housetrained yet
