About Jager

Jager has waited over a year for someone to notice him, and he’s still patient as ever. This sweet, affectionate dog came to the shelter as a young pup and was left tied up outside. Despite his rough start, he greets every new face with hope and a wag, eager for head scratches and a game of tug. Jager craves companionship and will do nearly anything for a little love, praise, or a treat. He’s happiest on long walks, soaking up attention, and doesn’t hold back when he needs a cuddle. Jager is housebroken on a schedule but has occasional accidents. He’s still learning leash manners and will need some extra work with positive reinforcement. He must have a home where he is the only dog, and cats won’t be a fit—Jager doesn’t do well with either. He hasn’t met children during his time at the shelter, so homes with kids would need a careful introduction. Jager’s favorite things are scritches, friendship, and soaking up all the love you can offer. Let’s find him the home he’s waited so long for. Start your journey together! Apply now.
