My name is Jupiter-Kitchener!

Hi! My name is Jupiter and I am a sweet but energetic boy. I can to the shelter in November of 2024 and I`m currently looking for my forever home.

The staff say I am really talented as I know a couple really cool tricks. I have become a pro at sit, spin, shake, but I am still working on down. You see I am very food motivated and will do just about anything for a treat. When I am not entertaining you with all of my skills you will find I love to put my nose to the ground and get to work. The staff say I have nose brain but I`m sure they are just jealous that I can smell all the cool things they can`t.

Since being at the shelter I have tried to play with other dogs. It seems like every dog I have met so far gets a little nervous of my as I do like to tell a lot of stories before playing with someone new. I think I just need a doggie friend that is able to keep up with my and wrestle until we are both exhausted.

I can`t wait to find my forever home where I can be spoiled with lots of treatos and snuggles. Hopefully they will have a fenced in yard and maybe even another doggie friend I could spend my days playing with. If you like a little excitement in your life and are looking for an adventure buddy then I am the perfect boy for you.
