Emmet's Happy New Family!
|
Emmet
adopted January 2006
Name:
Emmet
Age: 3 years
Sex: Male
Color and Size:
Black and White, 10 pounds
Date Received by JCCARE:
January 2005
Foster Home:
Suzi
Shelton
Foster Location:
Russell
Springs, Kentucky (south central)
Health:
Good.
Background: Emmet was part of a "kennel surrender". He will need work on housebreaking.
Temperament: Emmet's temperament is basically solid - however he is *very* backwards. He was strictly a kennel
dog, and has almost zero experience with being a pet. He needs a lot of one-on-one
attention and patience. He has shown no inclination to bite, and is easy to handle. He has warmed up a bit since I've had him, and will actually get a little enjoyment out of being petted, if I sit on the floor with him.
Additional
notes: We have not done any
lead work (concentrating on getting him accustomed to being petted and
handled). He is peaceable in a crate. He appears to be fine with other
dogs and cats, but haven't checked him with kids. I would consider him an
emotional "special needs" dog. |

Nikee
adopted January 2006
Name:
Nikee
Age:
5 yrs.
Sex:
Female
Color and Size:
Bl/wh, 18+ lbs.
Date Received by JCCARE:
Dec. 6, 2005
Foster Home:
Zofia
Foster Location:
Los Angeles, CA
Health:
Good, but she really needs to be on a diet and get more exercise!
Background:
Nikee originally showed up in a local shelter as a stray and was not
reclaimed.
She was adopted by a private party and returned about a month later because
"she doesn't get along with our other dogs". We don't know what breed the
other dogs were, but Nikee seems to be doing fine in her foster home.
Luckily, I had second hold on her when she was initially in the shelter, so
they contacted me and we were able to get her out of the shelter pronto! And
boy, was she happy to get out of there.... no more shelter visits
for this little girl!!
Temperament:
Loving and sweet. Likes being petted and is doing fine with the other
furkids and regular kids in her foster home. |

Sami's
Happy New Family! |
Sami
adopted February 2006
Name:
Sami
Age:
8 years (approx)
Sex:
Female
Color and Size:
Black and White, 12 lbs
Date Received by JCCARE:
12/11/05
Foster Home:
Tim Kerlin
Foster Location:
Watervliet, Michigan
Health:
Appears to be good but still needs to be vetted and possibly spayed. I can't
find a scar so I will wait to see what my vet says.
Temperament:
A sweet boy. He is still getting used to all the hustle and bustle of the
other Chins but is doing really good. He is a little shy but is slowly
coming out of his shell.
Background:
Her background, prior to coming to JCCARE, is unknown. She was going to be
turned into the dog pound in Columbus, Ohio and was saved by a friend of a
Chin breeder there. She was then delivered to me to foster.
Additional Notes:
I think she would do better in a single dog home, but given time I feel she
would do good with other animals. A home where she is not left alone very
much would be ideal. |

Black and White
Date Received by JCCARE:
01/11/06
Foster Home:
Tim Kerlin
Foster Location:
Watervliet, MI
Health:
Excellent! Up to date on all his
vaccinations. Will be neutered before placement.
Temperament:
What can you say, he is a puppy! A real ball of energy. Loves to play with
all the other Chin and people. A very beautiful and lovely boy. I kind of
wish he came with an on-off switch. Just a joy to be around.
Background:
Hogan should be placed in a home with other Chin. He wants to play and is
very, very active. I have come to call Yoshi, Sammy and Hogan The Three
stooges when they are tearing through the house.

Niki-Inu
adopted February 2006
Name:
Niki-Inu
Age:
2-3 years
Sex:
Male
Color and Size:
Black and White, 8 lbs
Date Received by JCCARE:
19 April 2005
Foster Home:
Carolle Cox
Foster Location:
Flower Mound (DFW), Texas
Health:
Niki's been through the mill, but I'm glad to report that he's healthy now,
and looking for a forever home. Maybe with you?
Background:
Niki was found in a parking lot and picked up by Animal Services. They held
him the required two weeks, and then sent him to JCCare. He was a mess, and
ultimately had to be parted from a ruined and infected eye. This has not
stopped this little guy from doing anything he wants to do.
Temperament:
Gentle, cuddly, can still get into puppy trouble occasionally.
Additional notes:
Niki can't handle certain brands of food, but otherwise, there are none. |

Johnny
adopted March 2006
Name:
Johnny
Age:
2 1/2 years old
Sex:
Male
Color and Size:
Black and White, 15 lbs
Date Received by JCCARE:
12/29/05
Foster Home:
Tim Kerlin
Foster Location:
Watervliet, Michigan
Health:
Appears to be in excellent health. A very solid boy. He will still need to
be vetted to be
brought up to date on his vaccines and to get neutered.
Temperament:
A sweet boy. He is still getting used to all the hustle and bustle of the
other Chins but is doing really good. He is a little shy but is slowly
coming out of his shell.
Background:
He owned a deaf lady and her son. They had to move into a new apartment that
doesn't allow dogs, so they gave him up. He was a pet store purchase. I
think he would do really good in any type of situation. He gets along with
the other dogs well but doesn't pay much attention to the cats. I have not
seen him around children so I don't know how he would be there. |

doesn't take animals. She has been very well taken care of and you can tell
that by the way she acts. Just a little princess. |

Luca
adopted January 2006
Name:
Luca
Age:
2 years
Sex:
Male
Color and Size:
Black and White, 12 lbs
Date Received by JCCARE:
January 11, 2006
Foster Home:
Sylvia Baker
Foster Location:
Linwood, NJ
Health:
EXCELLENT
Temperament:
FABULOUS, FRIENDLY, TALKS TO YOU WHEN YOU PET HIM... loves to play with NOAH
and the others.
Background:
LUCA was an owner turn in. Reason: spraying ( marking) inside new home. I
think this is a very temporary stage that I am working on, and hopefully,
when he goes to his new home, it won't be an issue.
Additional Notes: He should go to a family where someone is home most of the
day, and that has another small breed dog for him to play with. His past
owner said he is afraid of large dogs. I will not ship, so please be
prepared to come to Margate, NEW JERSEY to get him, if you adopt him !

General Tso
adopted March 2006
Name:
General Tso
Age:
4 to 5 years
Sex:
Male
Color and Size:
Black and White
Date Received by JCCARE:
December 14, 2005
Foster Home:
Eric Detrick
Foster Location:
Clearwater, FL
Health:
Excellent! Up to date on all his vaccinations. Will be neutered before
placement. General Tso continues to make great strides toward recovery. He
is very allergic to flea bites. One bite will send his skin into a frenzy.
He also has allergies to pollen, and food allergies. He has grade 4 of 4
luxating patellas. He also has the start of dry eye and needs to have his
eyes flushed twice daily to keep the eyes from itching. I believe he is
partially blind. Tso also has a large umbilical hernia that has never been
attended to. My Vet will re-check this before he is placed. With all of this
said, he is coming around and becoming a very happy little Chin. He plays
with my 1 yr old Chin Haiku for 20 minutes at a time.
Health Update 2/4/06:
General Tso is on the road to great health. We just had a follow up Vet
visit and received great news. The Vet feels he is much younger. Possibly 4
to 5 years. He is on a round of antibiotics for a yeast infection that is
clearing up beautifully. He also has hope for his right eye. He does have
KCS, however, with the proper medication and treatment, the Vet feels he
will gain full vision in his eye again. It is producing tears after just 4
days on the meds. Very excited about his progress. He's ready for his
forever home!
Special note:
new forever home will have to keep up with his meds for a minimum of 20
days, depending on his continued progress.
Temperament:
"The General" is a sweet and loving little Chin. He can be a bit snippy with
other dogs when he has a special treat. Other then treat time, he gets along
very well with other dogs. He really loves my Chin puppy, Haiku. They play
and play and play. He is happiest on your lap and loves to roll on his back
and have his belly rubbed. He likes to sleep on the bed and enjoys wearing
doggie sweaters. He was 40% hairless when I rescued him from a kill shelter.
I bought him his first sweater out of necessity to keep him warm. Now he
will cry until I put it on him. What can I say. He is fashionable...ha! And
he makes sounds like a cat. You must meet him to hear this unique ability
for yourself :).
Temperament Update
2/4/06:
General Tso is a very sweet boy. He loves all people and does fine with
small dogs. However, we recently adopted a rescue Akita mix puppy and Tso
hates him. Tso will attack him like a pitbull and will not stop until I
physically remove him from the poor puppies head. He has a mouth full of
what look like puppy teeth, so he does no real damage. I would be concerned
that a big dog would not find this desirable and attack him back. "Zen", our
puppy, is very easy going and just sits there.
I have not tested him with cats. Fine with kids.
Background:
General Tso was found as a stray on the tough city streets of down town
Tampa, FL by Hillsborough County Animal Services. He spent a week in the
shelter before I found out about him and got him into safety. When I rescued
him from the shelter, he suffered from a severe URI, yeast infection
covering his entire body including the pads on his paws, severe hair loss,
severe hot spots, dry eye, shot knees, a thumb sized umbilical hernia,
infested with worms and covered in flea dirt. He smelled so bad that I had
to drive home with the windows down and a scarf around my face to cover my
nose. The minute I saw him I thought he looked like he had been through a
war. Thus his name, General Tso. He was kept at the shelter with 3 other
small dogs.
Additional Notes:
No large breed dogs! |

Picachu
adopted March 2006
Name:
Picachu
Age:
5 years
Sex:
Male
Color and Size:
Black and White, 14 lbs
Date Received by JCCARE:
November 2005
Foster Home:
Libby Langford
Foster Location:
Birmingham, AL
Health:
Very healthy and active. Has had a recent dental, and lost several teeth
Temperament:
very outgoing and friendly. Not a dominant dog - prefers having other Chin
to follow
Background:
Received a call from another rescuer in LA about an ad for Chin in the New
Orleans paper. She had called, and a puppy mill was trying to get rid of a
breeding pair that never bred. I contacted the puppy mill in MS, and got the
pair out on the week before Thanksgiving. They were in good shape, and
fairly well socialized. Evidently she kept all the older dogs in a group in
a separate building from the breeding ones. Since these were infertile, she
kept them with the older ones.
Additional Notes:
I don't think he would do well as an only dog. At first I was afraid that he
was too attached to the female, but he really just
wants another Chin to follow
and play with.

Great!
Temperament:
Outgoing, sweet, good with other dogs (large and small), cats and kids. She

Background: Tisha was kept crated for the first two years of her life. She
has adapted incredibly well despite her past.
Additional Notes:
I'm not thrilled about shipping Chin. Tisha is somewhat experientally
starved and will take some 'work' to introduce her to the real world. |

Petie's Happy New Mommy! |
Petie
adopted
April 2006
Name:
Petie
Age:
2 years
Sex:
Male
Color and Size:
Lemon & White, approx 13 lbs.
Date Received by JCCARE:
February 19, 2006
Foster Home:
Sylvia Baker
Foster Location:
Linwood, NJ
Health:
Excellent.
Temperament:
For the most part, very very good. He can get growly, and has bitten in the
past. I am working on these issue with him and he has made much progress in
the past 4 weeks.
Background:
Petie is a beautiful, friendly, LEMON chin, turned in by his owner. I was
told that he had bitten them a few times. I do believe that the children he
lived with picked him up, under his arms, and hurt him...THUS, he will not
let you pick him up under his arms. He is otherwise very friendly and is the
first to jump up in my lap when I pat it, and tell him to come up... also,
he gets along with all my brood and loves to play and run. He sleeps with
me, cuddles up and lays across my neck in the morning, nibbling on my nose.
He loves to go for walks and he loves to go for rides in my SUV with
everyone. I do believe with love and patience, he will forget the need to be
afraid and bite. He will be a wonderful pet for someone with dog SAVVY and
common sense.
Additional Notes:
PETIE will not be shipped, so if you are interested, you will have to come
and get him, in Atlantic city, New Jersey. PETIE will also have to go to a
home with no small kids, no kids under 15 or so, and also a home that has
someone at home quite a lot to work with him and at least ONE OTHER small
dog his age to play with. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate
to email me. |

Munchkin
adopted June 2006
Name:
Munchkin
Age:
8 years
Sex:
Male
Color and Size:
Black & White, 10-11 pounds
Date Received by JCCARE:
May 2006
Foster Home:
Zofia
Foster Location:
Los Angeles, CA
Health:
Good....slight ear infection which is being treated.
Temperament:
Sweet boy, likes being held but a bit on the skittish side until he gets to
know you. Has been with the same family since a pup, so will need time to
adjust to new circumstances. Munchkin seems to prefer his own bed to mine,
but that could change if he were the only pup in the household.
Background:
Munchkin was purchased from a breeder (now deceased) as a puppy. He was
given up to Jccare due to the health of his "Mom". Munchkin has been around
other small dogs most of his life, but would do best as an only Chin with
people who are around a lot. He had access to a yard so now needs some
training walking on a leash, but he is doing pretty well. Would love to see
him with people who will take him on daily walks to lose about a lb.
Additional Notes:
Quiet household would be ideal for Munchkin. No kids. |

Monty
adopted
July 2006
Name:
Monty
Age:
1 year
Sex:
Male
Color and Size:
Black & White, 12-15 pounds
Date Received by JCCARE:
June 2006
Foster Home:
Zofia
Foster Location:
Los Angeles, CA
Health:
Monty seems like a healthy, happy boy. He will be brought up to date on
shots and neutered shortly.
Temperament:
Wonderful, although until he is neutered he pretty much has only one thing
on his mind. Foster mom says he allows her to do anything to him and is just
a big baby. Wants to play with the other Chin but tends to play rough so
would be best with canines his own size to rough-house.
Background:
Monty was surrendered by his owners. He IS a fun handful and we think that
once he is neutered he will settle down. He has no aggression whatsoever and
is still very much a puppy with lots of puppy energy.
Additional Notes:
No young kids or other small animals just because he plays so hard. Older
kids and bigger friends would be great. |

No issues. He is neutered.
Temperament:

when you come home. You have to pick him up to get him calmed. He uses the
pet door and I have had no problem with him at all.
Background:
Buddha was an owner turn in due to moving and a small child that mistreated
him.
Additional Notes:
He gets along with other pets including cats. He wants to be wherever you
are. He tested heart worm negative and is up to date with his vaccinations.
He is ready to go to a loving family. |

Sable Male is 13 pounds and Female is 6 pounds
Date Received by JCCARE:

Foster Home:
Heidi Ludwig
Foster Location:
Pella, IA
Health:
Overall their health is good. Mogwaii has VERY limited sight in his one eye.
Chia, the female, has a slight limp on one front leg. They are being brought
up to date on their shots. They also are both getting dentals and Chia is
being spayed.
Temperament:
Super temperaments. They get along well with other dogs, cats, and kids.
Both are pretty much puppy pad and outdoor trained and both walk well on a
leash.
Background:
Mogawaii and Chia came from a family that has fallen on hard times. The
family decided it was in the best interest of this pair to be placed with a
family that can spend more time with them and also afford their necessary
vet care.
Additional Notes:
As mentioned above, Mogwaii has very little sight. He gets along GREAT and
actually is rather confident. This pair has grown up together and must be
placed together. |

Yukki
adopted
July 2006
Name:
Yukki
Age:
Approx 6 years
Sex:
Male
Color and Size:
Black and White, 13 pounds
Date Received by JCCARE:
June 1, 2006
Foster Home:
Linda
Foster Location:
Vista, CA
Health: Excellent!
No issues. He was neutered on 6/28/06 and had a dental at that time.
Temperament:
Yukki is a shy boy but once he warms up he is very sweet. Expect him to be
stand-offish at first but within a week or two, you will have a devoted
friend who follows you everywhere. He likes to cuddle and play in bed.
Background: Yukki made his way to rescue because his beloved person passed
away.
Additional Notes:
Yukki has a strong preference for men. He is a sweet, quiet boy. Good with
other dogs, both large and small but does not interact much with them. As is
typical of many Chin, he prefers sitting beside his favorite person rather
than sitting on a lap. He does like to cuddle in bed but then moves to sleep
either on a pillow or at the foot of the bed. |

MoyMoy
adopted
August 2006
Name:
Moy Moy
Age:
Mature
Sex:
Female
Color and Size: Tri-Color
Date Received by JCCARE:
June 27, 2006
Foster Home:
Terry Anderson
Health:
Good
Temperament:
Very Sweet
Background:
We picked up Moy Moy...Little sister in Chinese....we were so taken by her
we all spent every moment, when we weren't packing for our trip to NYC
playing with her and getting her use to the other dogs and cats.
Moy Moy is potty trained and goes in and out our doggy
door freely, she also growls at the front door when she wants to go out so I
think if her forever parents don't have a doggy door she will let them know!
She is a mature girl and just likes to hang out in a chair on the couch or
the best is on the ceramic tile floor. As you can see she has what I believe
to be a summer cut. She is so sweet and would make a great companion for
someone looking for a dog that wants to give them all her love and
attention. She sits in the car and if you take her out alls you have to do
is clap your hands, make kissy sounds and say Moy Moy...and she comes
running. She is also great at taking a bath. My dogs whine and whimper and
try to get out. She just stands there and takes it. I can't believe the
owner has not come looking for her as she will attach herself to you and
will look at you with her big brown eyes that just say I love you. She is a
great guard dog. She will bark when people come by. And can perch herself on
a window ledge. My parents had her last week and took her everywhere with
them. They said they would let her out in their backyard but most of the
time she would hang out in the same room they were in, moving from couch to
couch, chair to chair looking for a place that was cool and comfy but still
in the same room.

Pepe
adopted
August 2006
Name:
Pepe
Age: 6 years
Sex: Male
Color and Size: Black & White,
approx 11 lbs.
Date Received by JCCARE:
October 14, 2005
Foster Home: Kim Pomo
Foster Location: Preston, CT
Health: Excellent. Neutered
and current on shots.
Temperament: He will bite out
of fear if cornered, or unsure of what's going on. He is non-aggressive with
other dogs or cats. He will after a while play with other dogs. He is a
growly talker. He growls when he's happy and if he's not.
Background: Pepe came from a
Spanish speaking family, and at first only understood a few commands in
English. He loves to sit next to you and loves to go for a walk. He does not
like to be picked up. He will bite if he does not want picked up. He is
house broken. With my gang, he has progressed well. He is learning how to be
a chin. Pepe has had a rough time for the last 4 years, and is distrustful
at first. I feel he would do well with possibly an older couple as a
companion pet. He has a lot of love to give for the right person. He needs a
special person with a heart big enough to understand him.
Additional Notes: No small children. Other dogs or cats are fine. |

Sweetie
adopted
October 2006
Name:
Sweetie
Age: 1
year
Sex:
Female
Color and Size:
Black and White – 8.5 pounds
Date Received by JCCARE:
9/12/06
Foster Home:
Jean Vitale
Foster Location:
West Hartford, CT
Health:
Excellent, completely vetted, microchipped, only diagnosis is mild
subluxating patella
Temperament:
Feisty, playful with other dogs, affectionate with people, gives kisses, is
a lap sitter!
Background:
Was "rescued" by woman in NJ who was going thru rough patch, but
couldn't bear to leave poor Sweetie in the pet store where she'd been for 9
months. She kept her 3 months, then it became too difficult due to personal
circumstances. She felt Sweetie deserved attention and TLC she couldn't
give. Also had no other dogs. So she contacted us, drove up from NJ to
personally meet us and feel comfortable with who Sweetie would be going to,
as people and as an organization.
Additional Notes:
As is understandable after spending months in a cage, she is not completely
housebroken, though progress is being made daily. Will only consider
applicants who are able to come and meet Sweetie personally with their dog(s),
to make sure it is a happy match!

when a stranger is in the house. Once he has announced the stranger, he
settles down and is quiet again.

Sweet, sweet, sweet! Seems to love everyone and gets along great with other
dogs.
Background:
Henry
was confiscated from a puppy mill in Georgia, along with 43 other dogs.
Henry was apparently the owner's pet and therefore, doesn't seem to have the
same issues as a puppy mill rescue.

Bella
adopted November 2006
Name:
Bella
Age: 3 years
Sex: Female
Color and Size: Black and White – 8
pounds
Foster Home:
Jenny McDonald
Foster Location:
Orange
Park, FL
Health:
Very thin, but otherwise is in good health. She is slowly putting on weight.
Temperament:
Very sweet
and loving, but somewhat nervous with strangers and Children. She is also
very aggressive with other females
Background:
Bella is an owner surrender and has apparently been through some trauma. She
has come a long way, but is still very scared of strangers and a bit jumpy
(especially around children). Once she decides to trust someone she is
extremely loving and snuggly. I can tell that she really wants to be
someone's special girl. Bella is very aggressive with females, but seems to
be o.k. with males.
Additional Notes:
Bella needs to be in a home that does not have any other female dogs.
Because of her emotional issues, which she is quite impressively working
through, she will also need to be in a home where there is not any small
children.

Ling
adopted November
2006
Name:
Ling
Age:
1.5 Years
Sex:
Male
Color and Size:
Black & White
Date Received by JCCARE:
10-28-2006
Health:
Perfect Health.
Temperament:
Ling is a very friendly dog. He gets along well with other
animals and does well with children. He is STARVED for attention! Ling needs
someone that will be able to make him the center of their universe.
Background:
Ling
was purchased as a puppy and the owner soon discovered she was allergic to
him. She gave him to a friend who she thought would take good care of him.
Unfortunately that friend gave him away again and he ended up being seized
by Animal Control along with a Pitbull with a severely embedded collar. Ling
was found tied outside where he apparently lived for some time.
Luckily
the original owner had him micro chipped and the shelter tracked her down.
She took him back in and got him UTD on all shots and ensured he was in
great health.
Additional Notes:
Still
working on his house breaking. Ling is also a dominance humper. I am working
with him to stop this habit.

Ernie
adopted December
2006
Name:
Ernie
Age:
2 year old
Sex:
Male
Color and Size:
Sable, 12 pounds
Date Received by JCCARE:
September 2006
Health:
Excellent Health!
Temperament:
Quiet and Easy going.
Additional Notes:
Ernie is a sweet loveable guy who wants
nothing more than to be by your side loving you. He's the happiest when he
can be close by so that when he wakes from a nap he can look up and see you.
Would probably do best as an only dog or with just one other about the same
size. Ernie loves to ride in the car, lay on his rug or the back of the
couch looking out the window. He's very childlike in personality... once he
feels at home he'll talk to you and do what he must to get attention. Gets
along with other dogs, kids and loves to chase cats if they run. Loves to be
groomed, touched and generally loved on.
