Hi there, I’m Jasper! If you’re looking for a snuggly and loyal sidekick, I might just be the perfect match for you.

I am fully kennel trained and I'm very calm in there. I’m housebroken, so no need to worry about any accidents. My leash manners are coming along nicely, though I can get a bit nervous when passing people or other dogs. But with a tasty treat and no pressure to meet them, I'm learning there's nothing to worry about. Walking with another dog that I know also helps me feel more comfortable.

I know some basic commands like “sit,” “down,” and “leave it,” which I’m happy to show off. I get along well with other dogs after slow introductions and love playing with them — my favourite game is chase! I would prefer a home without cats because of my desire to chase them (it’s just not a good look for me). Tiny humans are fast and scary, so I'd prefer a home with older children who are calmer and understand how to respect my boundaries.

New situations and people can make me a bit nervous, but I’m working on building my confidence every day. With the right routine (and treats, of course!) I can meet people with ease! It's simple, and my foster parents will show you how to do it.

I thrive in the company of other dogs, so I’d do best in a home with a confident canine buddy who can show me the ropes and help me feel secure.

If you’re ready for a fun companion who’s eager to learn and grow with you, then I’d love to meet you!
