Jefferson is a 2-year old, 9 lb neutered male who is equal parts charm, confidence, and cuddle. If you're looking for a little dog with a big presence, this is your guy. He's got that classic fun-sized energy -- bouncy, happy, and alwas ready to be part of whatever you are doing. Whether it's hanging out at home or riding shotgun on your next adventure, Jefferson is happiest right by your side. Jefferson walks nicely on a leash, tolerates the crate (though he'd much prefer to be out where the action is), and gets along well with friendly dogs and even cats. He does best with respectful older children who understand his size and boundaries. He's social, alert, and affectionate -- with just enough personality to keep life interesting in the best way. A note on his history: Jefferson came from a chaotic home environment with multiple dogs, including females in heat. During a fight between two intact males, a person intervening was bitten. Since being neutered and settling in to a stable foster home, Jefferson has shown no concerning behavior -- no nipping, no aggression -- just a happy, well-adjusted dog. He's ready for a calm structured home where he can continue thriving and being someone's loyal sidekick. If you're looking for a small dog who will happily keep you company, ride along on adventures, and bring a whole lot of personality in a tiny package -- Jefferson is ready to hop in.
