Hi, I'm Jewel! My friends at Maddie's Fund say that I am an adorable boxer mix and a very special girl, a diamond in the ruff! I may be a little rough around the edges, but inside I'm a true gem. I'm nervous around strangers, but once I get to know you, I'm super affectionate and will quickly become your devoted best friend. And I just know that you could help me overcome my fears and feel confident so that I can shine with everyone I meet! Even though I'm a "fancy jewel," I'm very playful and goofy. I love to play tag or keep busy with my Kong toy, and I adore playing fetch--I'll even throw toys up into the air and catch them by myself. I would love to play with you! I'm also smart as a whip (you might even say I'm *brilliant*). I know several cues, including Sit, Stay, Down, Settle, Wait, Shake, and Go to Bed, just to name a few. Of course, I'm house-trained, crate-trained, and great on leash, so you won't have to worry about teaching me good manners. Although I'm wonderful with people I know, I'm not great with other animals or small children, so I'd love to find a home where I can be the only precious gem! I'm available in the SF Bay Area and looking for a foster or a forever-home adopter! Contact Rory at adams@maddiesfund.org or 925-310-5452. I can't wait to meet you!
