Meet Jared, the charming young lab and shepherd mix who is ready to embark on his new adventure in a forever home! This sweet boy is only 11 months old and weighs around 40 lbs of pure love and excitement. 🌟 Adorable Jared is on the search for a loving family who can help him navigate the world with confidence. Coming all the way from Puerto Rico, he's faced quite a transition, and he needs an active family with a welcoming resident dog who can guide him with patience and love. 🐾 Jared thrives when he has a fur buddy by his side, and he’s done wonderfully with kids too! While he hasn’t met any cats yet, his gentle nature suggests he could be just fine with them, given proper introductions. This boy isn’t just looking for any home; he’s dreaming of a place where he can go on fun walks, have playdates, and enjoy belly rubs to his heart’s content! Just picture it – Jared gazing up at you with those adoring eyes, ready to shower you with all the love he has stored up! 🥰 He’s the type of lad who wants to bond with his humans, but he may need some time to feel secure before he comes out of his shell. Like a delicate flower, Jared will bloom beautifully when surrounded by kindness and understanding. 🌼 His foster family can't say enough lovely things about him – incredibly sweet, gentle, and patiently waiting for the right moment to show off his true colors. Jared is food motivated, making training an exciting adventure! Plus, once he starts to trust you, you’ll see his loyal, loving side shine through like the brightest star in the night sky! ✨ Now, let’s be real – Jared needs you to take the plunge and bring him into your life! He’s currently living in a foster home in the DC area and is ready to meet you this Sunday, December 14th, from 12-3 PM at PetSmart in Kensington. Can you feel the love waiting to happen?
