About Jamal

Meet Jamal, also known as Jam or Jammy! This playful 5-year-old, 65-pound Lab mix brings energy and affection wherever he goes. He loves chasing balls, but once he has it, getting it back is up to you. Jam has two main speeds: zooming around the yard and getting cozy on the couch, often preferring to snuggle right on top of you. He’s a dog-friendly fellow who prefers to play with larger dogs that share his rough-and-tumble spirit. While he would thrive with another pup, he’d be just as happy as your only pet, soaking up all your attention. However, he's not suited for homes with cats. Jam is potty and crate trained; he’s quick to settle in when a treat is involved and sleeps soundly through the night. His love for rubber chew toys keeps him busy, and while he can get a bit jumpy and mouthy when excited, he learns to settle well. If you’re looking for a buddy for backyard fetch followed by plenty of couch cuddling, Jammy is the perfect match for you. Ready to make Jam part of your family?
