My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Jag wanting to send everyone holiday blessings and tell you he hope all your wishes come true and let you know that he has one and asks for your help to make it come true. He is looking for a family of his own, not just for the holidays but for a lifetime.

Jag is a wonderful approx. 2 yr old boy that is super sweet, friendly and one of the happiest boys you will ever meet. He is an energetic boy, that loves to be in the middle of all sorts of activities, whether in the home, or out and about. He he loves to snuggle and join you on the floor, or if invited on the couch or any soft surface (which we believe is new to him) or working in the yard - place he seems very family, or a hike or road trip he would love being your constant companion. When Jag arrived he was very underweight and he now is a good weight for his size, but he is not a big boy but rather a perfect size for a big home or smaller size one, but his little body is so filled with love for all. With that said Jag does need some training because we believe that no one has every given the attention or time to do any training with, but when you ask something of him he really tries to figure out what you want. We believe positive training methods will be successful with him as he very treat motivated and eager to please. We are recommending he go to a home that has older kids rather than young one purely because of his energy and lack of training and he might knock a little one over by accident. He has been dog friendly with the other pups in the house but we would need to see how he is with yours and his playstyle might not mesh with all dogs (we don't know about cats)

If you think this truly gorgeous boy might be a fit for your family, please reach out and complete an adoption application

Additional adoption info

Step 1
If you are sending an inquiry about one of our dogs, please be sure to include YOUR LOCATION, PHONE NUMBER AND IF YOU OWN OR RENT.
Interested in a ARK Charities/Redemption Rescue dog or having us find a dog for you? Please contact us so that we can conduct an initial phone interview. During this time we will arrange to have you submit an application!
Step 2
Once you have been provided an application to submit, please be sure to be as detailed as possible, and include all requested information to prevent delays in processing your application (including an email address that you check often). You will receive a confirmation email as soon as your application has been received. If you have not received this confirmation within 48 hours, please check your junk mail and contact our Adoptions Coordinator at adopt@redemptionrescue.org to confirm receipt of application.
Step 3
We will perform landlord, veterinarian, and reference checks. This part of the process can take 5-7 days to complete. If we have any trouble contacting your references, we will reach out to you.
Step 4
If all goes well in step 2, you will be pre-approved to adopt and move on to our placement team! Our placement team is dedicated to helping you meet the perfect dog. That may be the dog you see being promoted or it may be another dog that we feel may be a better fit for you and your family and lifestyle situation. The dog you are initially matched up with you may be one of our available dogs, or a dog that may be in a partner rescue that we work with, (and we will work on your behalf to get the dog for you from the rescue) or a dog that we will go out and find specifically for you. This is a unique service that we offer and have been very successful at achieving because we rescue dogs from all over the country and we really know our dogs given that we have all dogs evaluated prior to rescuing them.
Step 5
Working together with the prospective adopter, when we have collectively decided to that you are qualified to adopt one of the dogs, we will complete a home visit (which also may be conducted at the time of the meet and greet, which will take place at most times the adopter’s home). An experienced volunteer will come to your home and meet with you and your family, we require all family members and animals living in the household to be present. We complete a check of the home, a property and fence check, as well as discuss GSD education. In some situations, we may require a home visit before pre-approval, however this is only for certain cases.
Step 6
If you are selected to have a home visit prior to meeting, after your home visit is complete a decision will be made on your adoption status. If you are approved to adopt and the home check is to be performed at the time you will be meeting the dog you have worked with placement to select!
Step 7
A detailed contract will be provided to the adopter and must be completed prior to bringing the dog into your family. The fee for the dog is actually is a contribution to repay just some of the expenses associated with the dog and is discussed specifically and dependent upon each individual dog.
