About Jasper

Meet Jasper, a 4-year-old male red amber Rhodesian Ridgeback mix currently waiting for his forever home in Jonesboro, GA. Born on February 6, 2022, Jasper has been fully vetted and is up to date on all vaccinations, including rabies, and has been microchipped and neutered. Jasper's journey has not been easy; he was returned to the shelter after living with a family for six months due to a lifestyle change. He and his brother, River, have seen many days pass in shelter life, and their medium to larger size often slows their chances of being adopted. Despite being timid, Jasper is friendly toward people but can be anxious around children. He thrives with one-on-one quality time and needs a patient adopter who understands the importance of building trust and allowing him to decompress. Jasper enjoys outdoor activities and would love a big backyard to play in. This active and loyal companion has so much potential and is ready to give love to the right family. Let's give Jasper the chance he deserves. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
