jalen

Jalen is a sweet, silly, and lovable goof who`s ready to steal your heart - and probably your spot on the couch. This handsome guy lives for soft beds, cozy blankets, and lounging near his people. He`s affectionate, cuddly, and always happy to soak up attention. Jalen has a wonderfully balanced, mostly mellow energy with a playful side. He loves squeaky balls, stuffies, and has proudly taken on the role of household recycling assistant by enthusiastically shredding cardboard boxes. He`s a curious, endearing pittie who enjoys checking out every corner of his space. He’s ok being left alone for a bit and is working on crate training now. He also knows sit, come, stay – what a smart boy!Treats are the way to his heart - he`ll happily do just about anything for them, including taking his meds like a champ (string cheese is his favorite!). He`s very communicative, with minimal barking, and will politely let you know when it`s time to go outside. He’s an awesome leash walker who rarely pulls, staying by your side and checking in frequently (for treats!). Jalen likes both shorter, more frequent walks as well as a few brisk ones too. (He loves greeting new people along the way.) He’s definitely up for an adventure especially if it involves the car. Although he’s mainly a chill guy, running around chasing balls a little is fun as well! With his gentle nature, goofy personality, and endless affection, Jalen is the kind of dog who makes a house feel like home. If you`re looking for a loving companion who brings both laughs and snuggles, Jalen might just be your perfect match!The Seattle Animal Shelter is committed to reducing length of stay for all of our shelter pets!
