About Jeremiah

Jeremiah, affectionately called “Scoob-A-Doobs,” started out as the shy pup in the back of the kennel, always finding a corner or ducking behind his bed with his thunder jacket close by. The world has never been simple for him, but, brick by brick, his confidence is taking shape. Every day, he learns to trust a little more, showing how sweet he really is. He can still get spooked here and there, but he feels steadier when he’s out with other dogs—especially his buddies Charlie or Haidy. Around those who understand his gentle spirit, Jeremiah’s goofy and loving side bubbles up. This big, silly pup thrives when another confident dog is around to guide him and would do best alongside a canine friend. He’d make an ideal “second dog” for a home with an existing dog who likes company and has a good example to offer. Jeremiah gets along with dogs, cats, and children, so he’s open to a busy, lively home if it’s patient and welcoming. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
