Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending!         Jive is a sweet, silly young pit bull mix who brings joy everywhere she goes. She’s the perfect blend of cuddly and playful—just as happy to curl up on the couch with you as she is to romp around with her toys. At about 25 pounds, she’s a great medium size and still very much a puppy at heart. She loves all toys, enjoys a good bone to chew, and is wonderfully friendly with new people. Jive is potty trained (using both pads and outside), walks nicely on a leash, and rides well in the car. She’s moderately active, eager to learn, and full of that goofy puppy charm that makes every day more fun. Jive gets along well with dogs and kids, but she doesn’t quite understand that small animals—cats or tiny dogs—aren’t built for her enthusiastic play style. For that reason, she’ll do best in a home without cats or small dogs. She doesn’t need another dog in the home, but she does love being with her people and would prefer not to be left alone for long stretches. She’s still working on crate training and may have accidents in the crate, so continued patience and positive reinforcement will help her succeed. With her affectionate nature, playful spirit, and love of snuggles, Jive is ready to be someone’s loyal, loving companion. If you’re looking for a fun, friendly, people‑loving pup who will brighten your days and warm your couch, Jive is your girl. **Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work! Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.  T his puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours, or your application will be considered void.  We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion.   Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee.  Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is to place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application. We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
