Jasper comes from the Gemstones Litter, born on February 4—an Aquarius, which often means a quirky and independent spirit. At his last vet checks, Jasper nearly tripled his weight, showing puppy growth in full swing. He's up to date on all core vaccinations, fully dewormed, and heartworm prevention has been consistent since April. Underneath his sweet and timid demeanor, Jasper is quick to warm up when another friendly dog is around. He knows his way on a leash, sometimes gets excited and pulls, but overall enjoys long sniff walks and yard time with his dog buddies. Right now, he's house-trained as long as you stick to his regular schedule—his foster keeps him on a reliable rotation of potty breaks. Jasper learned crate manners and can keep his sleeping area tidy through the night. He's curious but gentle with cats and enjoys active play with other dogs. Chewing is still very much on his daily agenda, so redirecting him to appropriate toys is necessary. He does best in a calmer home, ideally with older children, to give him time and space while he builds confidence. His foster is teaching him how to ride in a car and experience new places so Jasper learns that strangers aren't so intimidating. Adopters should keep up these gentle exposures. Jasper is still young and needs a home ready to encourage him, especially one with another dog for company. If you're looking for a loyal, sensitive pup, he's one to consider.
