About Jasper

Meet Jasper, your 40-pound lap dog in a German Shepherd mix! This 9-month-old sweetheart is brimming with affection and loves nothing more than snuggling up on your lap while you watch TV. He's playful too, enjoying fetch, walks, and engaging in puzzle games that keep his intelligent mind sharp. Jasper is learning the ropes of being a great housemate and is making progress with his name recognition and potty training. While he's still getting accustomed to crate training, he settles down after a few minutes. He can get mouthy with clothes and strings, so ongoing training will help him learn what's appropriate to chew on. Jasper is friendly with other dogs when introduced properly, but he may need reminders on playtime etiquette. He thrives in an active household that can provide him with 1-2 hours of exercise daily and ample playtime. A fenced yard would be a plus, though he could adapt to apartment living with enough outdoor engagement. If you're patient and ready to help Jasper grow into a well-mannered companion, he promises to shower you with love and cuddles. Could you be the family Jasper's been waiting for? ❤️
