About Jasper
Meet Jasper! A soulful three-and-a-half-year-old Border Collie/Rottweiler mix currently in Amherst, MA, whose calm, loving heart is wrapped in a stunning merle coat. With the gentle spirit of a wise friend, Jasper is the kind of dog who melts into your side on cozy evenings and follows you from room to room just to be close. Jasper thrives in peaceful surroundings and forms deep, meaningful bonds with his people. He does well around children and enjoys their company but is best suited for calm or older kids who understand boundaries. Loud or high-energy play can make him uneasy, so a respectful home environment is essential for his comfort. He’s a mellow guy who finds happiness in a soft spot to relax and the comforting presence of his caregiver. Food-motivated and clever, he knows an impressive list of commands like sit, stay, paw, and spin. Fully house-trained and crate-trained, Jasper is content when left alone, making him a great match for someone with a flexible schedule. While he doesn't require intense exercise, he enjoys slow, sniffy walks to take in the world at his pace. His favorite pastime is simply being in the same room with you, soaking up your presence like sunshine! After going through two traumatic incidents with unfamiliar dogs, Jasper has developed some reactivity towards them. He may bark or lunge when he sees them, particularly near fences. However, he has done well with familiar dogs in controlled settings, showing his ability to feel safe with the right structure. He’s happiest in a home with a fenced yard and a caregiver who appreciates companionship, consistency, and quiet. Loud noises can startle him, but with reassurance, he settles easily. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key friend who will return your care with quiet affection, Jasper may be the one to share your next chapter! Click apply to start the adoption process.
