jagger

Jagger is a stunning boy who is literally a rescue diamond! Jasper appears to be mostly deaf, but that doesn’t hold him back at all from being the sweetest and silliest pup in town. It is impossible not to immediately fall in love with Jasper as soon as you meet him. He is a happy guy with big brown eyes and an adorable puppy face. He seems to be potty trained; he has not had an accident inside. His foster restricts his water to before walks, otherwise he will drink himself to sickness. He needs some leash training because he is just so excited and pulls; he wants to say hi to every human and dog he sees. Jasper loves sniffing everything, but he isn’t a marker. He pees once on a walk and then spends the rest of the time sniffing. Jasper is still a bit mouthy but is gentle. He loves to gently nibble on hands and feet but can be distracted with redirection with toys. He loves to cuddle and lay near and/or on you, but if he gets hot then he will go lay on the floor. He loves to plop down on the floor and makes a thud noise. He is such a silly boy. He doesn’t love entering his crate, but if you throw a treat in there he will walk in and sit in there and is totally fine once he is in it. His foster has him sleep in his crate as a safe space. He is pretty quiet overall and does not bark. It seems Jasper would do well in a variety of homes, as long as he is loved and that his new family understands he cannot hear and they will need to use hand signals instead of verbal commands. Because he cannot hear you approach when he is asleep, it is best to let him wake up before touching him so you don’t scare him. Also, off leash would be very risky with him as he would not be able to hear you call to him. So as long as you are careful and understand his needs, he would be a perfect dog to any lucky home.
