Jolie

Sparkly and Clever!

🐶 Jolie's Personality

Jolie is a 14-week-old Kelpie X with a spark in her eye and a spring in her step. She’s clever, cheeky, and full of charm—learning new tricks and words every day like the little smarty pants she is! Affectionate and playful, she wriggles and writhes in your arms like a slinky, always angling for a face lick or an ear nibble.

This little lovebug is happiest when she’s glued to her human—snuggled in your lap, flopped across your chest, or curled up beside you in bed (if you let her!). She’s so relaxed and trusting, you can touch her anywhere and she’ll snooze right through it. Jolie is crate trained at night and when left alone, and she’s never had an accident in her crate.

She’s a quick learner who already knows how to sit and drop, and she’s obsessed with fetch and hide-and-seek chase games. Her tail never stops wagging—we joke it might fall off from overuse! Jolie is also a curious kitchen companion, always at your feet and eager to sample bite-sized bits of strawberry, banana, pumpkin, sweet potato, peas, corn, carrot, broccoli, and cauliflower. She’ll even help clean the plates if the dishwasher’s open and poke her nose into the cupboards like the sticky beak she is.

Jolie is outgoing, curious, and absolutely adores being the centre of attention. Whether she’s socialising with other dogs, playing with kids and babies, or assisting in the home office, she brings joy and energy to every moment. She’s quiet throughout the day, but she’ll let out a big bark if someone walks past—and a tiny squeak when she yawns, just to keep things cute.

🏡 Jolie's Ideal Forever Home

Jolie would thrive in a home where she’s showered with love, attention, and plenty of company. She’d be happiest with another dog to play and bond with—especially one who can help guide her puppy energy with gentle wisdom. She’s already learning to be respectful around her mature K9 foster sister, and she’d love to continue growing in a home that offers companionship, stimulation, and lots of cuddles.

She’s almost toilet trained and responds well to routine—especially when you say “Go pee pee” and take her out after meals. She’s even started using the doggy door on her own for toilet breaks. Jolie is great on the lead but can get nervous around traffic and loud noises, so she’ll need gentle encouragement and patience as she builds confidence on walks.

Jolie is best suited to a family who understands the needs of a bright, active pup and is ready to embrace her zest for life—and her love of snuggles.

💔 Jolie's Rescue Story

At just 10 weeks old, Jolie was found wandering the streets—severely underweight, covered in ticks, and battling a heavy burden of fleas and worms. She was handed in to a vet and came to Sweet Pea under Duty of Care so she could begin her recovery. Just days later, she developed tick paralysis and lost the use of her hind legs.

Thanks to the care of our Directors, a Vet and Vet Nurse, Jolie received intensive treatment and monitoring—and she made it through. She is now being fostered by one of our wonderful volunteers, where she continues to thrive.

🩺 Jolie's Medical History

Jolie has received comprehensive veterinary care since arriving at Sweet Pea. Her adoption fee of $500 includes:

✅ Desexing
✅ Microchip
✅ Vaccinations
✅ Treatment for heartworm, fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms

She has made a full recovery from tick paralysis and shows no signs of lasting trauma. Jolie is now a healthy, happy pup ready to start her next chapter.

🌟 More About Jolie

Jolie recently stole the show at our Adoption Weekend at Bunnings, basking in the attention and charming everyone she met. She played with our other rescue dogs, demanded their attention with her playful antics, and soaked up every cuddle offered.

We’re not entirely sure of her breed mix, but we suspect there’s a dash of Jack Russell in there—her bold attitude, boundless energy, and love of games certainly suggest it!

Jolie is a shining example of what love, care, and community can achieve. She’s ready to bring laughter, loyalty, and a whole lot of puppy kisses to her forever home.
