If pure joy could grow four legs and a wagging tail, it would be Jay Smiles! Some dogs make you smile, but Jay makes you grin without even realizing it. This happy-go-lucky little guy is around a year old and weighs just 27 pounds, making him the perfect medium-small size. He seems genuinely convinced that every day is the best day ever, and it's hard not to agree when you're around him. Whether he's bouncing through the yard, carrying a toy, or flashing one of his signature goofy grins, Jay has a way of making life feel lighter.
Ideal Home
Jay truly blossoms when he has a canine companion by his side, so a home with at least one playful dog is a must. He also needs a securely fenced yard for his zoomies and explorations. Because he can be shy and needs time to build confidence, a quieter home without young children would be ideal. Older teenagers might be okay, but Jay prefers a more peaceful environment.
Ongoing Health
Jay is a healthy pup who is up-to-date on all vetting.
Training & Support
Jay is already crate trained, potty trained, walks nicely on leash, and knows how to sit. He shares treats beautifully with other dogs and has excellent social skills. He can be a little shy when meeting new people and in unfamiliar environments, so a gentle introduction and some patience will help him settle in. Once he feels safe, his affectionate personality shines through. He has also met cats and, while he may initially try to invite them to play, he responds well to guidance. A dog-savvy cat would be best.
