About Jeff

Jeff is a charming senior dog who found himself at the rescue after his family faced unexpected changes. At 9 years old and weighing around 9 lbs, this tiny guy is both friendly and playful. He enjoys his toys, going for walks, and exploring, with trips to the beach being a highlight of his adventures. Previously, he's lived peacefully with cats, making him adaptable to various family settings. His transition to the rescue was stressful, and he was hesitant at first, even skipping meals. However, he recently had the chance to unwind in a warm foster home. After just one night, Jeff was wagging his tail and enjoying meals with a little extra turkey on top. He’s quite at ease during car rides and loves neck massages, often falling asleep afterward. While Jeff is house trained, he’s still adjusting to the routine of going outside. Although Jeff is generally sociable with other dogs, he appreciates his personal space and will gently communicate when he feels his boundaries are pushed. He might take some time to trust fully, as he's not keen on being picked up right away, but once comfy on a bed next to you, he’s all about snuggles and pets. This little guy is worth the patience and love it takes to bring him out of his shell. Click apply to start the adoption process.
