About Bart

This could be the start of something paw-some. Jingle is an outgoing and social boy who quickly makes friends wherever he goes. He thrives on affection and is always ready to offer a paw for a tasty treat. In the shelter, Jingle has shown lots of energy, so he’ll benefit most from an active home that can give him daily exercise and stimulating activities. With the right outlets, he’s sure to settle in as a cheerful companion. Jingle delights in chasing balls, squeaky toys, interactive training, splashing in water, and zooming through play sessions. He’d likely thrive with another high-energy dog friend and is eager to keep learning alongside a loving family. He already knows "sit" and "shake", loves car rides, and is making progress with his leash skills. Jingle is presumed good with children, but because he can be jumpy when excited, active households are preferred, especially those without older folks. Secure fencing is recommended for everyone’s peace of mind. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
