Meet the magnificent Jonas! 💖 This dashing fella is not only handsome, but he's also a protective snuggler. What more could anyone ask for? Don’t let his initial skepticism fool you; while he may greet newcomers with a little suspicion, once he decides you're his, there's no turning back! Especially if you're a lady—this loyal companion is ready to be your forever friend. Need an oversized lap dog at 80 pounds? Jonas is your go-to guy! 🐾 Now, don't you worry about those unfamiliar faces; with Jonas by your side, his impressive BARK is sure to send anyone second-guessing their entrance. A yard is essential for this buddy to romp and frolic in, so no apartments for this playful pup, please! 🌳 At just over a year old, Jonas is still in that delightful puppy phase. Although he’s already mastered “sit”—and let me tell you, he takes treats like a gentleman! He walks fairly well on a leash (after shaking off his initial excitement, of course), and what he loves most is cuddling. He’s still learning just how big he is and has those classic zoomies that make every day feel like an adventure! 🚀 Watch out for those digging spots he is always on the hunt for; he's got the nose for it! And let's not forget, he's an Olympic-level counter surfer—nothing is safe in the kitchen! 🍽️ Jonas adores his fellow canines, especially those willing to engage him in a bit of play. His favorite 'toy' is his foster sister, whose tail he loves to chase! However, he’s still working on that social cue with his more grumpy roommates and sometimes thinks he's the boss—because size matters in the canine world! 🤔 But here’s a twist—kids? Not a fan. After some unfortunate experiences, he’d prefer to keep his distance from children who have been anything but friendly. So, a home without kids is key for this loving spirit! If you’re an active individual or family looking for a devoted companion and guardian, Jonas could be your perfect match! He warms up to men, especially if they show some patience (his foster dad is his fave!). But be warned: he can get bored if left alone too long and may engage in his own brand of 'excitement,' like interior demolition! 😅 A work-from-home situation or a family that has time to share with him would be ideal. With sufficient playtime outside—including plenty of space to chase off mail carriers—this shepherd mix will be more than happy to protect his turf. 🏡 So if you’re ready to welcome this loyal companion into your life, remember, Jonas is waiting for his perfect forever home! And to seal the deal on this loving partnership, apply to adopt Jonas through the Buddy App! 💖
