Jubilee

Meet Jubilee, a 1-year-old Dachshund mix who weighs just 6 pounds. This teeny little girl is still discovering that the world isn't such a scary place and that having people who love you can be a pretty wonderful thing. She's come a long way with her foster mama over the past month, but she's still a work in progress when it comes to building confidence and trusting the people around her.

Jubilee is happiest with the simple things in life: a quiet space, a cozy bed, and a few favorite toys to entertain herself with when she thinks nobody is watching. She's not one to demand attention or be the center of the action. In fact, she'd much rather observe the world from her safe little spot until she's ready to join in. Being picked up can be frightening for her, but once she's safely in your arms, she will nuzzle into your neck and remind you just how sweet is.

Jubilee would do best in a calm home with another gentle, confident dog who can help show her the ropes. She's not house or crate trained yet, but she's doing well using potty pads in her puppy pen. A secure, fenced yard is a must, as Jubilee isn't comfortable walking on a leash yet and may freeze up when asked to venture out. Having a safe outdoor space where she can explore at her own pace will be important. She's tiny enough to slip through surprisingly small spaces, so extra care around doors, gates, and fencing is essential. Because of her size and the fact that sudden movements can frighten her, we're looking for a home with older children who are calm, respectful, gentle, and understand the importance of giving her space.

Jubilee's foster mama describes her as "so incredibly sweet, and such an easy foster. All she wants is a cozy, quiet space." She's not looking for a whirlwind of adventures or a busy household. She needs someone willing to meet her where she is, celebrate the little victories, and patiently show her that she's safe and loved. With time, consistency, and a whole lot of kindness, this tiny girl has so much potential to blossom.

Her minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents.

She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
