Here's what the humans have to say about me:
We're looking for a home for Jasper and it needs to be a special one. Jasper is a 1 year old Pyrenees/Golden mix who has a lot to offer. He has a smile that won’t fade, he enjoys playtime with other pups (and even cats!), and he snuggles with the best of them. While we know he looks like an extra fluffy Golden Retriever, he's got the heart of a true guardian. For folks who love LGD breeds, you will adore Jasper. Seriously. For folks who are looking for the personality of a Golden, Jasper is not the dog for you.
Jasper has a lot of love in his 70 pound body. A love for life, a love for people, and a love for food. He likes to spread the love when it comes to the first two, but the love of food, he prefers to keep to himself. Like a typical adolescent pup, Jasper pushes limits. He needs a person that knows how to push back and will patiently work on his food issues. This is easily solved by hand feeding nightly (or as he puts it, treating him like a king he is) and being consistent with this activity. This sweet boy would do best with kids over 12 in his forever home. He loves other dogs and cats, and enjoys being outside as much as he enjoys a good dog bed to lie down on.
Jasper is intelligent, happy, and ready for action, anytime of any day. He knows several commands and is learning more quickly in his foster home. He is so smart though, he will need someone will knowledge of LGD breeds. If you have a spot on the couch for Jasper, email amanda.lin@bigfluffydogs.com.
If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/online-app.php. Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM ADOPT-A-PET: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST. All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
