About This Dog for Adoption
Jasper's ideal home
If you are after a loyal older gent with a cheeky spark, Jasper could be your perfect match. At 11 years old, this Collie cross still enjoys his walks, a gentle play session and the company of people he knows well. Jasper is looking for a calm, adult-only home where life moves at a quieter pace and his new family will be understanding of his needs and happy to give him the space he sometimes asks for.
He would love a private garden to potter in and ideally a home in a more rural setting, away from heavy traffic and noisy lorries. Jasper travels on the back seat of a car and is relaxed around traffic, though he may need a little help getting in and out.
Could you be Jasper's perfect match?
Jasper has lots of character and will thrive with owners who are home most of the time and enjoy being involved in his training. He is not used to being left so this will need to be built up gradually once he is settled in his new home. He is not a cuddly lap dog but he does enjoy gentle strokes and building up trust at his own pace. Multiple visits will be needed at the centre so that Jasper has time to bond before heading home.
He would like to be the only pet in the home, though he is happy walking alongside doggy friends out and about. He is housetrained, knows some basics like sit, down, paw and wait and takes his treats gently.
If you are looking for a companion who will bring plenty of personality and loyalty into your life, Jasper could be the boy for you.
