About Jester

Meet Jester! ❤️ Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn, and through no fault of his own, Jester has found himself back with DHS after a change in his family. His previous family loved him enough to recognize that finding him a home better suited to his needs was what was best for him. Originally from Texas, Jester was adopted in 2022 and is now hoping to find his true forever home. Jester is a big-hearted boy who could benefit from a healthy weight-loss plan to help him get back to feeling his best. He has previously lived with children and other dogs. When meeting new canine friends, he does best with slow, proper introductions to help everyone start off on the right paw. This good boy is also a great car companion and enjoys going for rides! He's crate trained, although he hasn't needed to use one in his previous home because he's been such a well-behaved gentleman. But perhaps Jester's best quality is his loving personality. He's a cuddly, affectionate boy who enjoys being close to his people and soaking up all the love he can get. Jester is looking for a family willing to invest the time, patience, care, and commitment he deserves. In return, you'll get a loyal companion, a professional cuddle buddy, and a whole lot of love. Could Jester be the missing piece of your family? He's ready for his next chapter and hopes this one will be forever! 🐾❤️ Start your journey together! Apply now.
