JASPER - CATTLE DOG / MINIATURE PINSCHER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Cattle Dog / Miniature Pinscher / Mixed. Jasper is proof that age is just a number! This handsome 10-year-old Cattle Dog mix still has plenty of pep in his step and is always ready for his next adventure. Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood, a hike on the trails, a game with his dog friends, or a cozy evening on the couch, Jasper is happy as long as he's spending time with the people he loves. One of Jasper's favorite things in the world is other dogs. He absolutely lights up around canine companions and especially enjoys playful, energetic dogs who are ready to romp. He has also lived successfully with cats and does well sharing his home with feline friends. While he adores adults and warms up quickly to new people, Jasper would do best in a home without young children, as he can become uncomfortable when kids get in his space. Respectful older children would likely be a much better fit. Jasper is house trained, crate trained, rides perfectly in the car, and has wonderful manners around the house. He knows basic commands, is treat motivated, and enjoys learning new things. On leash, he may start out a little enthusiastic, but quickly settles into a pleasant walking companion. After recently losing the dog companion he had shared life with for eight years, Jasper has shown remarkable resilience. He has rediscovered his playful spirit, formed new friendships, and continues to embrace life with enthusiasm and joy. His foster family describes him as the perfect balance of active and relaxed—happy to play hard when it's time for fun, but equally content to curl up beside you for a quiet evening. Jasper would thrive in a home that offers both adventure and downtime. He could happily live as an only dog, but he'd also love a canine playmate. He does have some food resource guarding with other dogs, which is easily managed by feeding separately. If you're looking for a loyal companion who still has plenty of life, love, and adventure left to share, Jasper is ready to be your best friend. This sweet, affectionate boy is proof that some of the very best dogs come with a little gray around the muzzle. All CAWS pets are fixed, vaccinated, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $100. Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-served basis—we focus on finding the perfect match for each animal.
