Jackie (On Trial 19/1/13)

My name is Jackie. I’m a very sweet 1yr old female American Staffy x Bull Terrier. I love lots and affection from my foster parents and am really friendly to all the new people I meet. I’m getting more and more playful by the day and I have a fantastic time going for walks with my foster parents. I love to eat anything I am given and have really enjoyed chewing bones and pig trotters.

I love to play with my Kong and chase it around, it’s so much fun I often throw it around by myself. I also love sticks and other toys that I can play tug-of-war with. I love playing with puppies and young dogs. This is so much fun. I get along well with other dogs and had a great time with my foster sister who was a little smaller than me, although I would be ideally suited to dogs about my size.

Unfortunately I cannot hear very much as I was born profoundly deaf. However I am a very clever dog who has been learning the hand signals from my foster parents so they can let me know what they want me to do. I have already mastered many tricks. I know how to sit, lay down, stay, come to my parents when called, go to my bed when I’m told and have almost learnt how to shake. I really want a forever family who will be patient with me and willing to continue my training because I’m really my happiest when I can please my parents. My training is very easy and not too different to training a dog who can hear.

I love to curl up in my bed and am happy to sit by my foster parents side when they are home. I like to follow them around the yard and watch what they are doing and I can stay at home by myself all and keep myself entertained.
