It was love at first sight when we saw this beautiful girl at ACCT Philly.
Even though she was frozen in fear, there was something about Jayden that pulled at us—a quiet, aching kind of sadness that said she needed someone to fight for her.
Jayden came to us from ACCT after being surrendered with multiple other dogs for “too many pets,” and she was, without question, one of the most terrified dogs we have ever seen. She wouldn’t move. Wouldn’t walk. She was too afraid to even exist in the world around her. We don’t know what she went through in her life, but whatever it was, it left her utterly broken.
Jayden is an extremely shy and sensitive soul. She is afraid of people, and almost everything in this great big world, but with dogs, she lights up just a little. She seeks comfort in them, follows their lead, and begins to believe that maybe things are going to be okay. Her foster mom is working patiently to help her build confidence, and they have built a bond where Jayden will now follow her foster mom, sit next to her, and even jump up for pets sometimes. Jayden is a sweet, sweet girl who needs to build trust and learn she can count on you before she lets herself open up, but that’s who she is and that is ok♥️
Jayden will need a home that is quiet, calm, and full of grace. She must go to a home with another friendly, confident dog and a tall, secure physical fence, as she is a huge flight risk. She cannot live with young children, as their energy and unpredictability will terrify her. A household with older teens who understand her boundaries may be okay. Most importantly, Jayden needs an experienced and patient owner—someone familiar with extremely fearful dogs who is willing to commit to her healing with no timeline, no pressure, and no expectations.
Jayden won’t be your walking buddy next week or your snuggle companion the week you take her home, but she will get there and be the best dog you could ever ask for. She has so much love inside of her, waiting for the right person to help her find it.
If you’ve ever loved an underdog… if you know the joy of earning trust slowly… if you’re the kind of person who shows up, again and again, no matter how hard it gets—Jayden is waiting for you.
She is so worth it♥️
