Description:
Meet Jasper Jasper loves going for walks and is just starting to discover the joy of toys and treats. He’s learning quickly—working on sit for treats and making good progress with potty training. He’s doing well peeing outside and is still figuring out the pooping part, with a few accidents as he learns the routine. This handsome guy has recently found his voice! He can howl, bark, and whine, though he doesn’t use it much—he just likes knowing the option is there. He’s also incredibly affectionate and absolutely loves sitting in laps. Jasper can be hesitant with transitions like doorways, gates, and stairs. He’ll go up steps but not down yet, and while he can come in from the backyard, the front door is still a challenge. He’s very close, though, and gaining confidence every day. In the mornings, he greets his people with tail wags from his kennel and gets right up to the gate—he just needs a little extra encouragement to take that final step out. Once he’s been outside and finished his business, Jasper runs like the wind—he’s fast, agile, and clearly excited to get back inside where he feels safe and cozy. Jasper does guard his food and will bark if another dog comes too close during meals, so he’ll need thoughtful management and a home willing to continue working on this with patience and consistency. Overall, Jasper is a fun, loving little guy who is trying hard and making steady progress. With a gentle, understanding family, he’s going to keep blossoming into an amazing companion.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
