Jasper (20260915-12)
Border Collie
My story
? MEET JASPER! Your 37-pound bundle of fun, affection and floppy-tongued zoomies! ? Jasper is a handsome Border Collie/Basset Hound mix with a soft white coat, adorable black markings and a personality that will make you smile! When Jasper first arrived in foster care, he was a nervous boy. Just look at him now! His confidence has blossomed, and he's become a happy, playful, affectionate pup who loves everyone. He's basically a party on paws! He loves doing zoomies around the house and yard, and his floppy tongue hanging off to one side while he runs is guaranteed to make you laugh! But Jasper isn't all about playtime. He's also a wonderful cuddle companion who loves being near his people. Whether you're working at your desk, relaxing on the couch or watching TV, he'll happily settle nearby. He's happiest when he's with his humans or has a compatible doggie friend to keep him company. Jasper is good with adults, older children (10+ recommended due to his enthusiasm), other dogs and cats. He enjoys playing with friendly cats but also respects their boundaries. He's a gentle, submissive boy who prefers to avoid confrontation. He's eager to please, knows how to sit and LOVES treats! He walks on leash, rides well in the car and enjoys his toys and chew treats. Jasper is still working on his potty training. He will potty outside but also consistently uses pee pads indoors. He'll need a family willing to continue working on his routine, provide frequent potty breaks and help build his confidence outdoors. He has some experience with crating but would prefer a home where he can enjoy more freedom. He can also be vocal when he hears unfamiliar noises, so an apartment wouldn't be ideal. Jasper is looking for a loving home that appreciates both his playful, silly side and his sweet, snuggly nature. Another dog isn't a requirement, but a compatible canine companion would be a bonus! At the end of the day, Jasper is simply a happy boy who wants to be loved, included and part of a family. Looking for a playful best friend with a goofy side and a serious talent for cuddling? Jasper might just be your guy!
