Meet Jasmine!
A wise and wonderful American Staffordshire Terrier/German Shepherd mix, estimated to be between six-and-a-half and seven-and-a-half years old, currently living in Bethesda, MD, whose golden coat glows as warmly as her loyal heart. With a personality as rich as her heritage, Jasmine is a bright, affectionate girl who thrives in a world of structure, calm, and confident guidance.
One of Jasmine’s most lovable traits is how deeply affectionate she becomes once she trusts you. She’s a devoted cuddlebug who adores belly rubs, sunbathing, and curling up beside you after a long walk. Her days run best on a reliable rhythm. She prefers two meals a day, regular walks, and lots of loving connection with her trusted human.
Jasmine is currently with a professional trainer and has made tremendous progress! She's off all anxiety medication and is thriving in a consistent, supportive routine. She now enjoys relaxed pack walks with up to thirteen other dogs and impresses with her obedience. She knows commands like sit, down, stay, wait, come, heel, touch, and place. With her intelligence and love of learning, she responds especially well to positive reinforcement and firm, kind leadership.
Because of her history, Jasmine is looking for a new guardian who has experience with anxious dogs and understands the importance of clear boundaries. Her ideal family will be confident, calm, and able to offer a structured environment where she feels safe and understood. While she’s dog-selective and not compatible with cats, she’s coexisted peacefully with another dog who matches her energy and confidence.
Jasmine’s past includes a couple of bite incidents that were rooted in protective instincts and anxiety, but under her trainer’s care, she’s shown just how far she’s come. She no longer exhibits concerning behaviors and is ready to continue growing with someone who "gets" her, a guardian who leads with strength and love, and helps her feel secure.
Medically, Jasmine is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and house-trained. She also has a heart murmur that was evaluated by a veterinary cardiologist and determined not to need treatment. She’s otherwise in good health and ready for her next adventure!
