Jepp is a tiny dog with a huge personality, packed with charm once you earn his trust! This little firecracker can be a bit snappy and temperamental with new people, but after a few slow, positive meetings – three is his magic number – he transforms into a loving, loyal, and playful goofball who enjoys tossing toys. Jepp has a soft and snuggly side to balance his energetic playfulness. He has occasional resource guarding, so he needs a home where adults or older teens can understand and respect his space and body language. Jepp would thrive as the only pet in the home, where he can soak up all the attention. Because he can be reactive to unfamiliar people and noises, he'll do best in a house rather than an apartment, with adopters who are patient and understand the importance of slow introductions. Jepp has been waiting patiently for someone to see past his tough exterior and believe in the sweet dog underneath. If you're ready for a small dog with a big personality, Jepp is eager to meet you!
