Additional Notes: Ralph is not 100% housebroken - needs patience with training - owner will need to pick him up in Brooklyn - I would also like to arrange a pre-adoption meeting for Ralph and his new owners

Gatsby

adopted January 2007

Name: Gatsby
Age: 2 years old
Sex
: Male
Color and Size: Sable, 22 pounds
Date Received by JCCARE:  August 2006
Foster Home
:  Linda McNamara
Foster Location:  Vista, CA

Health
: Gatsby is a big healthy boy
Temperament: Frisky, playful and full of energy. But, he also has quiet moments and enjoys a good cuddle. Because he's a big boy, he's strong and plays hard. He loves going for long walks. Anyone interested in Gatsby should think of him as a medium sized dog rather than a demur toy dog. 
Background
: Gatsby lived with a young woman who had to take a job where she could not take him with her. Her family tried to take him in but due to allergies were not able to. The entire family was heartbroken to have to give their baby up but they did because it was best for him. 
Additional Notes: Gatsby needs a playmate. I would love to see him go to a family that would train him for agility. In fact, I've already had him in classes and he is learning quickly.

Allie Hu

adopted January 2007

Name: Allie Hu
Age: 4 Years
Sex
: Female
Color and Size: Sable & White
Date Received by JCCARE
: November 2006
Foster Home: Eric Detrick
Foster Location: Clearwater, FL

Health: Allie is in great health. She will need a dental cleaning in the near future. Allie is allergic to fleas. Must ensure she is treated monthly with Advantage or similar topical flea treatment.
Temperament: Sweet as sugar! Allie is a real love muffin and wants ALL of your attention. Allie likes cats, my Skunk and other dogs. Due to her need for attention, I feel she would do best in a home with just one other dog as a playmate. Allie was very shy and scared when she first came into rescue. I've worked with her and provided unconditional TLC to help her regain trust in humans again. I feel she is now ready to make the transition into her forever home.
Background
: Allie was owner surrendered because the family wished to travel and did not want to take Allie with them. They tried re-homing her themselves and she was soon returned because the children in the "new" home were to rough with her.
Additional Notes: Allie would do best in a home with children over 10 and that respect animals. She would blossom extremely well with a retired or semi-retired family or someone who works from home/takes her along to work. Allie would make an outstanding therapy dog for senior citizens. She's very patient and calm with seniors. She just likes to sit in their lap and be loved on.
Allie is very attached to me, however she does fine with both men and woman.

Bandit

adopted January 2007

Name: Bandit
Age: DOB - 1/22/06 
Sex
: Male
Color and Size: Black & White; 14 pounds (and growing)
Date Received by JCCARE
:  December 2006
Foster Home:  Kathie Helmick
Foster Location
:  Elgin, Illinois

Health: Bandit is being treated for a nasty ear infection, but otherwise he is in great health.
Temperament
: His smile says it all -- Bandit is a goofy guy who is sweet and friendly with everyone he meets --he doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He is great with kids and other dogs, and is fine with cats (though he loves to chase them). Bandit would especially love to have another dog to play with in his new home. He is still very much a puppy and needs proper supervision, plenty of playtime, and positive training to improve his house manners. He is mostly housebroken, but still has an occasional accident (but he is improving as he gets settled into the potty routine at his foster home). He does get sad when left alone, so he prefers a family where someone is home most of the time. He enjoys going for walks and is good on a leash (but very, very curious and into smelling everything). He also does great on car rides.
Background: Bandit was relinquished to JCCARE by his family because they did not have the time to give him the proper attention a puppy needs. They purchased Bandit from a pet store.
Additional Notes: Bandit is ideal for a family with children and/or other dogs who would like a playmate. His new family needs to have the patience and understanding to work through his puppy stage.

Louie

adopted February 2007

Name: Louie
Age: 7 years
Sex
: Male
Color and Size: Tri Color
Date Received by JCCARE
:  January 2007
Foster Home:  Eric Detrick
Foster Location
:  Clearwater, FL

Health: Louie came to us in poor condition. He had all but 4 teeth pulled. He does have some joint issues but doesn't seem to be in any pain from this. He had a severe puncture on his hind leg that is healing. He also suffered from severe hot spots. These are also healing. He has one eye that is the size of a pea. The other eye is normal. He has full vision in both eyes. This is just a cosmetic birth defect.
Temperament
: Louie is a very quiet Chin. He has a sweet nature and can be quite comical at times. He is food aggressive with other animals. I feel this is because he was starved in the past and he had to fight for his food. He do best as the only pet in the house.
Background:  Louie originally came from a puppy mill. He was re-homed a few times along the way. He eventually made his way into rescue. Louie was in poor condition when he first arrived to us here in FL. His coat was matted, he had feces dried in his fur, his nails were very long and severely curved. He was covered in fleas, ticks, hot spots and had a wound on his back leg.

Cain & Kenshin

adopted March 2007

Name: Cain & Kenshin
Age: 18 months
Sex
: Male
Color and Size: Cain, black and white (10#), Kenshin, sable and white (10#)
Date Received by JCCARE
:  12/31/2006
Foster Home:  Tim Kerlin
Foster Location
:  Watervliet, Michigan

Health: Both these guys are in very good health. Cain has just finished treatment for Demodex and is bug free. Both still need to be neutered (will be done before adoption).
Temperament
: These are two of the most loving dogs that I have had in foster. Always willing to give lots of hugs and kisses. Real snuggle bunnies. They are welded at the hip, especially Cain. He loves his brother!
Background:  They were turned in due to personal problems in their household. They were originally rescued from a BYB in Indiana. They are litter mates.
Additional Notes: I think Cain and Kenshin need to be adopted together. Cain is very attached to his brother and he wants to be where Kenshin is.

Gizmo

adopted April 2007

Name: Gizmo
Age: 18 months old
Sex: Male
Color and Size: Black and White, 15 pounds
Date Received by JCCARE:  July 2006
Foster Home:  Zofia Luksic
Foster Location:  
Santa Monica, CA

Health:   Excellent! No issues.
Temperament:
  Fantastic with kids. Can be slow to warm up to adults. Prefers women to men. Accepts some other dogs but is growly with others. I have not figured out how he decides which he likes and which he does not like. Does not like cats.  Gizmo is very quiet. When he does bark, it is a quiet woofing sound.

Background:
 Gizmo’s family had a baby and decided he was not getting enough attention so they turned him over to rescue.
Additional Notes:
Gizmo is a bit of an escape artist and will need to be in a home with a very secure fence. He loves going for walks but needs some training on how to behave when he sees other dogs. Gizmo would do well as an only dog or with another submissive dog (preferable female). He should be placed in a family with kids as he truly loves children.

Mongo

adopted April 2007

Name: Mongo
Age: 2 to 3 yrs.
Sex: Male
Color and Size: Black & White, 12-14 lbs.
Date Received by JCCARE:  2/28/07
Foster Home:  Zofia
Foster Location:  Los Angeles, CA

Health:   Great...recovering from a slight eye injury which is healing nicely. Presently 12 lbs, but would like to see him put on a couple of pounds.
Temperament:  Sweet....gentle and soft...those are the best words I find to describe Mongo.
Background:
 Mongo came into a local shelter as a stray...neutered, but with no id tags or microchip. He had a left eye injury which is being treated with BNP ointment and we expect to heal completely.
Additional Notes:
Mongo is a great boy! He is also one of the nicest Chins I've ever had to walk on a leash. Just a delight all around.

Age: 23 months
Sex: Male

Date Received by JCCARE:  March 2007
Foster Home:  Sylvia Baker
Foster Location:  EHT, New Jersey

Health:   EXCELLENT, no issues at all.
Temperament:  VERY SWEET, Extremely MELLOW for a young chin and VERY ,VERY SHY. NON AGGRESSIVE, NO GROWLS.
Background:
 This sweet young healthy male was an owner turn in, due to his fear of strangers. He is very frightened of men, especially, but also fearful when any person other than me is in the room. He loves to play with other dogs, walks great on a lead, but will avoid people at all lengths.
Additional Notes:
MILO will require someone with TONS and TONS of patience. He must go to someone who will work with him and his fears and understand him. He is not a good eater and his forever owner will need to take that into consideration. He must go to a home with at least one other young dog, as he loves to play. A FENCED IN YARD is required. WHOEVER ADOPTS MILO must realize that it could take a very very long time to get him over his fears.

Temperament:
 
Ronin is adorable. He is not aggressive, but is cuddly. He has some adorable mannerisms, and loves to sleep at my feet, even with other Chin around. He's a bit frustrated with my cats, who will not play with him. He's such a "Drama Queen" over shots!
Background:
 Ronin was a back-yard dog. His people decided to move, and cannot take him. He is adapting beautifully to being an "indoor Chin" and is entirely house-trained. He barks a little, but not much.

Daphne

adopted April 2007

Name: Daphne
Age: 3 years old
Sex: Female
Color and Size: Lemon & White

Date Received by JCCARE:
 15 November 2006
Foster Home:
 Nancy Mellott

Foster Location:  Texas

Health:
   Daphne is a healthy girl but at this time has some skin problems due to flea allergies. This should be controllable with flea preventatives.
T
emperament:  Daphne has a very nice temperament although she is food aggressive toward other dogs. She does not want to share her food!
Background:
Daphne had been used for breeding and had several c-sections before she was spayed.
Additional Notes:
Daphne is not yet housebroken.
UPDATE! 3/11/07
Foster mom comments:
Daphne has learned to trust people! She just loves to be held. I believe she had never felt the ground under her feet before she came home with me, we are continuing to work on housebreaking but it is a good thing they make diapers for doggies so we use them a lot. She is a very pretty girl and weighs about 9 lbs. and at that weight is a little pudgy. She still does not like to share her food and does not like the other girl dogs at my house as well as the boys, I think she would be good in a home with boys or by herself. She loves going outside now!!!!! Her first few trips outside she simply stood perfectly still, totally amazed. She loves the sun!

Happy New Family! April 2007

Rocky

adopted April 2007

Name: Rocky
Age: 5 years
Sex: Male
Color and Size: Black and White, 12+ pounds
Date Received by JCCARE:  August 2006
Foster Home:  Carolle Cox
Foster Location:  Flower Mound, TX

Health:   Looks good! Rocky has a history of 'gastritis' that may stem from a run-in with an exterminator's chemicals a few years ago.
Temperament:
  Cuddly, friendly, will follow people through the house.

Background:
 Rocky lived his whole life with a loving human 'mom' and a Pomeranian 'sibling. Mom fell on hard times and had to move back in with family. Rocky objected to the children in the house, and mom was forced to give him up.
Additional Notes:
Rocky is NOT trained for crates or close confinement of any kind. He will hurt himself trying to get to people. I will not ship Rocky - it's just too hot here to risk it.

Percy

adopted May 2007

Name: Percy
Age: 18 months
Sex: Male
Color and Size: Black & White - 10 lbs.
Date Received by JCCARE:  March 5, 2007
Foster Home:  Tammy
Foster Location:  Sterling Heights, Michigan

Health:   Excellent. No issues.
Temperament:
 
This little boy is not a lap dog (he's 100% puppy) and is starting to show signs of affection. He loves to play with all of us, whether it's wrestling or chasing or with toys. He can be high energy at times, but will sleep at my feet and follow me around the house. We are enjoying the entertainment that he does with all his silly antics. He's a very friendly dog and is always eager to meet new people. He enjoys going on a daily 2 mile walk with our Cavalier dog and myself and walks well on a leash (doesn't pull). He can become scared when passing by kids who are playing basketball and large dogs that are also on a walk. He gets along well with other dogs his size and smaller that like to play. I'm not sure about whether he would get along with cats since we don't have one. He does enjoy being brushed and with his thick and fine coat it would be best if he was brushed twice maybe three times a week to keep it from getting matted. He just loves to have his belly rubbed and does very well on car rides.
Background:
 
He's one of four Chins that were rescued from a puppy mill in Iowa.
Additional Notes:
I'm still working with him on housetraining and he's coming along fine, but not 100% yet. I feel he needs a family where someone is at home during the day (like me) that can continue to work with him on housetraining and take him for walks. He does enjoy children and would do best with dog friendly children 8 years and older. He will need a secure fenced-in yard since he loves to run. He's neutered, crate trained and up to date on all his shots, including rabies vaccination and worming.

Date Received by JCCARE:  9 April 2007
Foster Home:  Carolle
Foster Location:  Dallas, Texas
Health:   Good.

Tenji was adopted, then returned because he and his sister were fighting. He really needs a forever home.
Additional Notes:
I won't ship a Chin.

Milo

adopted May 2007

Name: Milo
Age: 3 years
Sex: Male
Color and Size: Black and White, under 10 pounds
Date Received by JCCARE:  May 2007
Foster Home:  Erik Detrick
Foster Location:  Clearwater, FL

Health:   Milo is in excellent health. Milo is a dainty Chin and is very cat-like.
Temperament:  Milo is a real sweet Chin that just wants to sit on your lap and be loved. He does have some food aggression issues with other dogs. Other then that he loves everyone and everything.

Background:
 Milo was rescued from a Tampa Pet Shop when he was 9 months old. He had been there since he was 8 weeks old. The family that rescued him foster Poms and they felt he was not getting the attention that he needs. They felt he was very depressed with having to share their love. No doubt that this awesome little Chin was loved unconditionally by his previous family. He is great with kids, men, and women as well as other dogs. No idea if he likes cats.
Additional Notes:
Milo is doing great in our home and loves being part of a Chin pack! He plays, chases, climbs, and woo-woo's with them all. He is especially fond of one of my English Toy Spaniels. He follows her around with the look of "love" in his eyes. He loves the ladies! Milo walks well on a leash and enjoys long walks. He is 110% housetrained and knows some basic commands. Milo just wants to be loved and to have a person to call his very own. Could you be the one? Milo is a catch. He is a 5 star guest here at the Chin Inn and perhaps the best male I've had in foster care.

Rose

adopted June 2007

Name: Rose
Age: 4-5 months
Sex: Female, altered
Color and Size: b/w, 6.8lbs
Date Received by JCCARE:  April 2007
Foster Home:  Dana Baldinger
Foster Location:  Renton, WA

Health:   Excellent health! Currently getting puppy shots and will be altered in a week or so.
Temperament:  typical puppy: I am energetic, happy, inquisitive, affectionate on my terms, very very clever also!

Background:
 My brother Bud and I are very happy, healthy kids with no baggage! We were rescued by a lovely lady who knew our situation wasnt good. She called JCCARE and now here we are, ready to find YOU! We will be altered soon and then ready to come home forever! We promise to make you laugh, make you smile and make you re-think your container plant arrangements.
Additional Notes:
First priority will be given to families in the Pacific Northwest who wish to adopt my brother and I together. We will also need a fully-fenced yard. Other chin or small dog friends to play with would be great, but remember we are not going to be dainty Chin- so a 2 lb Chihuahua might not be the best playmate.

Bud

adopted June 2007

Name: Bud
Age: 4-5 months
Sex: Male, altered
Color and Size: b/w 9.1 lbs (yes, 9.1lbs!)
Date Received by JCCARE:  April 2007
Foster Home:  Dana Baldinger
Foster Location:  Renton, WA

Health:   Excellent! Just getting puppy shots and will be altered in a week or so. No issues.
Temperament:  typical puppy: I am energetic, happy, inquisitive, affectionate on my terms, very very clever also!
Background:  
AFFECTIONATE! Like a true boy Chin puppy, Bud loves to snuggle up and give lots of kisses. He sleeps with his little face right next to mine all night- awwww! He is funny, clever and loves to play, but he does depend a lot on his sister Rose to try new things first. He is the 'gooey' one, she's the go-getter and together they are a great team.
Additional Notes:
First priority will be given to families in the Pacific Northwest who will adopt us together. We require a fully fenced yard and no children under 5 years please. We love to play and would enjoy other dogs as playmates, but we have not been tested with cats. At our young age we can learn to be friendly and good with them!

Yoko Ono

adopted June 2007

Name: Yoko Ono
Age: 1.5 years
Sex: Female
Color and Size: Black and White 18 pounds
Date Received by JCCARE:  April, 2007
Foster Home:  Eric Detrick
Foster Location:  Clearwater, FL

Health:   Yoko Ono is in good health. She was very well cared for by her owner. They fed her holistic/natural dog food, supplements for her coat, etc. She is a beauty!  Although she is a little on the tall side, she is perfectly height/weight proportionate.
Temperament:  Yoko Ono has a delightful personality. She is very intelligent and knows all of her basic obedience commands. As soon as she sees me going for the treat jar, she sits like a perfect young lady. Yoko Ono is high energy and will require an owner who has the skill to establish with her right away that they are the pack leader.  She is fine with children, adults, and dogs. She does enjoy chasing cats but will not harm them.  She needs to be placed in a home that has another Chin for her to bond with. She took to my pack immediately and really thrives in this type of household.

Background:
 Yoko Ono was brought to me by her owner who could no longer keep her. They spent a lot of time with her and it shows. She enjoys being groomed and delights in cuddling up on the sofa beside you.  If you are looking for a loyal, well trained companion, she is your Chin.  She likes toys and will play for hours. She really loves squeaky toys. Yoko is an early riser. She likes to go out in the morning by 6a.m.  Great little buddy for a morning stroll around the neighborhood.
Additional Notes:
Yoko weighs in at 18 pounds and is 16 inches high at the shoulder and 21 inches long. PLEASE measure this out to see how truly big she is. I do not want any surprises when you come to meet this fantastic Chin that just happens to be super sized. Yoko Ono would be an awesome dog for someone who loves the look and grace of the Chin, but wants a medium sized dog. It is hard to find a dog that is truly medium in size. Yoko Ono fits the bill. She would love a home with a family that enjoys the outdoors. She would live outside if I would let her. 
We will only place her in a family with previous dog experience. She will thrive in a home with at least one other dog, preferably a Chin as a companion.

Additional Notes:

Taz

adopted July 2007

Name: Taz
Age: 18-24 months
Sex: Male
Color and Size: Black and White, approx. 12 lbs
Date Received by JCCARE:  March 5, 2007
Foster Home:  Tim Kerlin
Foster Location:  Watervliet, Michigan

Health:   Excellent!
Temperament:  A real sweet boy, like the rest of the Iowa 4. A little rough with his playing though. He does love to play with all the Chin here and my bigger boys keep him right in line. He likes to play with toys and will chase them. He may or may not bring them back. Likes to give kisses. Does real good with bath time and getting his nails cut.

Background:
 Received with 3 other boys from a mill/BYB bust in Iowa.
Additional Notes:
Would do really good in a home with another Chin. Preferably one about his size that can handle his rough play. Older children would be OK.

Yasuo
adopted July 2007

Name: Yasuo
Age: 4 years
Sex: Male
Color and Size: b/w, 13 lbs
Date Received by JCCARE:  5-16-2007
Foster Home:  Carolle Cox
Foster Location:  Flower Mound, TX

Health:   Good!

Temperament: 
Playful and full of himself. Not afraid to knock his sisters off a lap!

Background:  Yasuo came to us from a northern rescue project.

 




Warlock

adopted July 2007

Name: Warlock
Age: 3 years
Sex: Male
Color and Size: Black & White / 12 pounds
Date Received by JCCARE:  March 2007
Foster Home:  Carolle
Foster Location:  Flower Mound, Texas

Health:   Warlock is in great shape. He has some minor ear issues, but they're clearing up. He may need medication in his ears for awhile, since his original owner also battled this "problem".
Temperament: 
I really don't know how he got the name "Warlock", because he's anything but warlike! He's gentle and playful. He loves attention and is a real clown, but does not like large male dogs. He doesn't understand cats, but is not aggressive towards them. Not yet tested with children. He prefers women to men, but is not all that picky.
Background:
 
Warlock was the beloved pet of a lady who fell on hard times. Sadly, she surrendered Warlock so he could continue to get the care she felt he needs. He was spoiled, well cared for, and as a result is a real rescue catch! He knows some commands, and is entirely house trained, getting just a bit loud if he doesn't get outdoor access to potty when he needs it.
Additional Notes:
Please don't offer to adopt this little guy if you share your home with large male dogs. He doesn't know he's 1/5 their size, and will take them all on!

Crockett
adopted July 2007

Name: Crockett
Age: 2 years
Sex: Male
Color and Size: Black & White / 12 pounds
Date Received by JCCARE:  06/02/07
Foster Home:  Jenny McDonald
Foster Location:  Orange Park, FL 32073

Health:   Great health
Temperament:  Very Sweet & Loving & playful. Wants to be with the family all the time. Loves his belly rubbed.

Background:
 
Crockett comes from a family in Alabama that had to be relocated and could not bring him along. He is in very good health, however he did have an ear infection before I picked him up - It is all better now. He is very sweet and loving and more playful that any other Chin I've met before. He loves running with the other Chin and kids in my house. He also loves to talk (woooo). He is housebroken. Basically he is the total Chin package.
Additional Notes:
Crockett loves to play and can get a little carried away. Because he is a little larger than most Chin, this could be an issue for someone with small Chins in the house. He is very sweet though and does not have a mean bone in his body.

Background:
 We were told his original owner had to surrender him and two other dogs to a humane society when she lost her home.
Additional Notes:
Prana is now housebroken. If necessary, he doesn't mind being crated. He's a very pleasant and happy little guy who loves to be around people.

Gizmo
adopted July 2007

Name: Gizmo
Age: 5 years
Sex: Male
Color and Size: Lemon and white - 13 lbs
Date Received by JCCARE:  March 10, 2007
Foster Home:  Kristin Cohan
Foster Location:  Grafton, MA
Health:   Excellent. Just had a physical exam and a dental. He lost 7 teeth but it hasn't affected him one bit.
Temperament: 
Playful, agreeable, cuddly. Likes to be held like a baby. Typical chin personality
Background:
 
Previous JCCare rescue adopted 3 years ago. Turned back in to JCCare as owner became pregnant, could no longer give him the attention he needed, and no longer had the time to work on his housebreaking issues. Gizzie arrived as a nervous "marker" and lifts his leg in the house, but he is making some progress and is happy wearing a belly band. He would do best where someone is home all day to help him continue with his housebreaking. Plus, he would enjoy sitting on a lap all day!
Additional Notes:
Gizzie is a very sweet boy who has no health issues. He would probably make a good therapy dog or a lap dog for a retired person. He lived with a five year old, is good with children, loves other dogs (especially other Chin), is good with cats as long as they don't run!

Sorano
adopted July 2007

Name: Sorano
Age: 9 years
Sex: Female
Color and Size: 15 lbs, black and white
Date Received by JCCARE:  5-16-2007
Foster Home:  JoLynn Archer
Foster Location:  Wimberly, TX
Health:   Other than being older, this little girl seems very healthy.  She had a mammary tumor removed that turned out to be benign.
Temperament:  Peaceful. The only thing she really wants is a loving lap to sit in. Sorano is not completely house-trained, and is unable to walk on a leash. Otherwise, she a terrible little cuddle-bug who takes over entire laps!

Background:
 
Sorano was rescued from a puppy mill, and came to JCCARE with three other Chin. She does well at the Vet or groomer and with other Chin.
Additional Notes:
Sorano needs a patient family to help her learn inside manners and good leash behavior. She will repay you in cuddles!

Miss Daisy

adopted July 2007

Name: Miss Daisy
Age: 7 years, 3 months
Sex: Female
Color and Size: Black & White / 11 pounds
Date Received by JCCARE:  June 2007
Foster Home:  Zofia
Foster Location:  Santa Monica, California
Health:   Great! Visited the vet last nite and aside from a little ear cleaning, she got a clean bill of health. Heart and lungs sounded good, knees nice and tight, eyes bright. Even her teeth looked pretty good but she will probably need a teeth cleaning in the next year. She has a bit of a wry mouth, so her tongue is out to some extent most of the time. She doesn't understand the concept of kibble (or maybe she just doesn't like it!), but she eats her loaf with no problem and loves her various treats. She could maybe lose a lb., but no more than that.
