“Jade is a very sweet, friendly little girl! She was bouncy and excited when I met her at her kennel. She was eager to go outside; once we got to the play yard she went potty right away and then brought her little bouncy self over to me for snuggles! She's so funny and she got right up onto the bench next to me so that she could be as close as possible for snuggs! She's a great girl! Affectionate, friendly, wonderful!”
