Jasper

Meet Jasper!

Jasper is a soulful three-and-a-half-year-old Border Collie/Rottweiler mix weighing in at a stunning 70 pounds. He has a gentle spirit and the quiet loyalty of a true companion, ready to melt into your side on a cozy evening and follow you room to room just to be close.

Ideal Home

Jasper thrives in peaceful surroundings and forms deep, meaningful bonds with his people. He does well around children and enjoys their company, but he would do best with calm or older kids who understand boundaries and know how to treat him gently. Loud or high-energy play can make him uneasy, so a respectful home environment will help him feel safe and content. He's happiest in a home with a fenced-in yard and a caregiver who values companionship, consistency, and quiet. Loud noises can startle him, but with reassurance, he settles easily.

Ongoing Health

Jasper has no known ongoing health conditions.

Training & Support

Jasper is fully house-trained and crate-trained. He is food-motivated and clever, knowing commands like sit, stay, paw, spin, and middle. After two traumatic incidents with unfamiliar dogs, Jasper has developed reactivity towards dogs he doesn't know, which may include barking or lunging, especially near fences or in close proximity. He continues to work through this with training and patient support. He has done well with familiar dogs in controlled settings.
