About Jedidiah

Jedidiah—known as Jed, Jeddy, and occasionally handsome bo-bandsome by his foster mom—is a big-hearted, goofy boy with an eager, puppy-like spirit. Though nearly 2 years old, he’s still learning the ropes of home life after a long shelter stint. His housetraining is solid, and he’s completely crate trained, but he hasn’t quite figured out shoes aren’t chew toys and sometimes gets a little too jumpy when he’s happy. Jed listens well to corrections and is responsive to new routines and training. Given his size and youthful energy, Jedidiah suits homes with older kids who are comfortable around larger, bouncy dogs. He plays well with submissive female dogs that can match his enthusiasm and likes most dogs in general. He’s also good with cats, provided a confident kitty keeps him in check when needed—he doesn’t always grasp how big he really is. To thrive, Jedidiah needs a family that can give him consistency, patience, and a bit of structure. This February Aquarius can be silly, social, and always ready for fun. Jedidiah is set to make someone very happy—he has a loving streak a mile wide and is itching to give it all back. Your new best friend is just one click away.
