About Jay

Jay is a 6-month-old male mixed-breed Lab, about 15 pounds and still filling out. Easygoing and eager, he fits right in with other dogs, cats, and children—he genuinely wants to be everyone’s buddy. Jay handles car rides without a fuss and meets new people with the same tail-wagging enthusiasm as he greets old friends. He’s still a youngster, so he’ll do best where he gets daily exercise and steady training while his curiosity keeps him on his toes. Jay’s medium black and cream coat is soft to the touch, and his energy is all puppy: playful, sweet, and always following what’s interesting. Jay is ready to settle in, learn the ropes, and latch onto his new family with that classic Lab heart. Born October 15, he’s a Libra—maybe that’s why he’s so keen to get along with everyone.
