Meet Jade! Jade is a 4 month old female pup. She is currently 24 pounds so will be at least a medium sized dog. She is said to be a lab grey hound mix and both can be a pretty good size! Jade is quiet in her dog run but gets very excited when you come in to hang out with her. She does require more training in basic house manners (like potty training!) but all around a nice dog. For anyone interested in Jade and other pets ready for families, visit CThumane.org
