The Stangohr Family

As of March 17, 2013 the RAGOM Board approved removing the physical fence requirement for adopters of puppy mill dogs. Instead, the foster family will determine whether their foster dog needs a fence to be kept safe.

Jasmine does NOT need a fence!

Jasmine still needs another medium-sized dog to give her support, no children under 10 and... a very loving forever family!

RAGOM is proud to present Miss Jasmine 13-040. She is a 7 y/o purebred female. She is a petite, 57 pound, dark gold girl with a loving personality. “Jazz” was surrendered to RAGOM from a breeder. She has spent her whole life as a breeding dog, so coming into a home was a very new experience for her. She has been in our home for just over a week and has come so far in such a short period of time! We are taking it slow with her, following her lead. She is really making gains…check it out-

• She has mastered stairs.
• She has two “safe” spots- one in the family room behind the couch and one in our bedroom on her pillow where she sleeps at night. While she spends a lot of her down time in these locations, she isn’t shy to come out when called.
• She is starting to learn about toys…she will now pick them up and take them to her spot.
• She has mastered going to the bathroom outside (instead of not going) and is making progress with housetraining.
• She loves our resident dog. She would do best in a home with another confident dog as this is how she is learning to be a beloved part of the family instead of just a breeder.
• No food aggressions- she “shares” her bowl with our RD and vice-versa!
• She gives you lots of kisses and “the golden paw”- she’ll crawl up in your lap if allowed!
• Rides well in the car.

Over the next couple of weeks we will be working on walks with a leash out front & introductions to children, possibly cats. We will continue to work on basic commands- she is already pretty good with “sit” and “shake”. She’s a pretty quick learner considering she didn’t know how to take a treat a week ago. I think she would thrive in some obedience classes-not because she has bad behaviors, but she would become so much more confident and would bond with her new family is such a great way.

Medically, she is nearly ready to go. She is current on all vaccinations and preventatives (heartworm and flea/tic). She is scheduled to be spayed and will have her beauty mark removed by her eye on February 19, so she will need a little recovery time before she is ready for adoption. Follow her progress over the next couple of weeks- she’s amazing. Please thoughtfully consider giving this girl a new life as part of your family.
