Jolie - Jolie was an owner surrender to the Austin Animal Center due to anxiety. Jolie is a sheltie mix (we see some beagle and possibly dachshund), about 8 months old, spayed and heartworm negative. She is up to date on all her vaccinations and is on heartworm preventive. Jolie gets along great with other dogs and immediately loves young children. Jolie gets nervous in new situations and with new adults. She also tends to be a bit submissive and is easily frightened by harsh actions. Once she is used to the adults, she is very loving and snuggly. Jolie is mostly housetrained and loves to take walks on leashes. She loves meeting other dogs on walks but is cautious about adults. Jolie's favorite quote is "Ain't but three things in this world that's worth a solitary dime, But old dogs and children and watermelon wine", although she says she would rather have just the watermelon. She is a super sweet young lady, working on good manners and looking for a wonderful home that will understand her.
