About Jasper

Jasper came to us with one of his eyes in poor condition, leading to a vet removal, but he's still full of life. After recovering in foster care, his personality has truly shone through. His foster family describes him as a loving dog who may be blind, yet he brings so much joy wherever he goes. Whether it's hiking through the woods or enjoying the wind in his face during a car ride, Jasper embraces every moment. He loves his walks, exploring toy boxes, and treats, which he is always eager to earn. Not only is Jasper housetrained, but he also feels secure in his crate. He navigates his surroundings impressively well, remembering the layout of spaces he frequents. While he gets along with other dogs, there have been instances of resource guarding. Kids make him a bit uneasy, but through positive exposure, he's making progress. Unfortunately, Jasper does not do well with cats. If you're searching for a loyal buddy to join you on adventures or to relax at home with, Jasper is the perfect companion. He’s ready to find a home that appreciates his spirit.
