Hi there, I’m Jaycee! I’m a 3-year-old Giant Schnauzer, weighing about 50 pounds of quiet sweetness. I’m on the shy side, but every day I’m learning to come out of my shell a little more—and I can’t wait to meet a forever family who’ll help me grow even braver! At home, I’m an easy-going girl with lots of energy. I’m perfectly potty trained and only go outside for my business or on nice walks where I can explore the world. I sleep a lot, but I’m always ready to join you, whether it’s on an outing or relaxing at home.  I do need a fenced in yard because I have not yet learned the ways of the leash.  I am practicing, but I'm also scared of stuff too so without a fence, I may get spooked and run away and once I find you I certainly don't want to ever lose you!   I love playdates with other dogs and would thrive in a home with a playful sibling who can show me the ropes. I don’t usually play with toys on my own, but with another dog around, I’m much more interested in joining the fun! I have discovered bones and horns and well, pretty much anything I can chew on, including stuffies!  I also will fake bite when I play with you too.  I am getting braver by the day and have even learned how to do stairs!  I’m not really food-motivated and still getting used to treats, but I think I’m just figuring out how to enjoy all the good things in life.  Dog parks are my favorite! A bit of training would help build my confidence and make me the best companion I can be.  I’m not much of a barker—except when I see a cat! If you’re looking for a sweet, curious, and youthful dog who will adore having a sibling and bring calm energy to your home, I might just be your perfect match. Let’s meet soon—I’d love to be part of your family! *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.   ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
