About Jasper

Jasper is a 2-year-old pit mix with plenty of energy and a real knack for making friends—he has never met a stranger he didn’t like. Picked up as a stray, his history is a mystery, but it’s clear he thrives when he’s around people who give him attention and structure. Jasper’s happiest with regular exercise and mental stimulation, whether you’re tossing a toy in the yard or going for brisk walks. He’s working on leash manners and still pulls when he gets excited, though he’s improving with consistency and patience. In the shelter, he keeps a clean kennel, which bodes well for house training in a home environment. Jasper weighs about 51lbs and is up to date on preventatives, neutered, and microchipped. Born September 18, he’s a detail-oriented Virgo—no surprise he’s already striving to do things right. Give Jasper a little guidance (and a lot of love) and you’ll have a rewarding companion with a huge heart. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
