Jasper Blue is being fostered in the St Louis MO area.
Hello potential Adopters! Introducing Jasper our "gem of various colors" (one translation of his name)! Jasper also symbolizes abundance and riches. How much richer could your life be with this handsome boy? Jasper is a mini blue merle male with a bobtail and two blue eyes! He is as sweet as pie and weighs about 30 lbs. His date of birth is 12/25/2020 - a Christmas gem waiting to celebrate his 4th birthday with you!
Jasper was an outside dog prior to coming into foster, but he quickly adjusted to home life. It took him several weeks to adjust, but he is now confident and settled in nicely. Jasper lives with 2 other dogs and does well. He does draw guidance and companionship from one of them, so a home with a confident dog could help him adjust to his new home quicker. He is also a Velcro dog with his foster human, so being an only dog could work if his new family is patient and gives him time to adapt. He would make an excellent sidekick for someone! Due to his size and initial shyness he would like a home with adults or older children.
We don't know how he is with cats as he's had no interaction with them in his foster home. Jasper is house and crate trained. He has great leash manners. His activity level is moderate. He does not like rain or snow! Car rides and loud noises can be stressful, but he's getting better. He can be unsure with visitors or outings in busy places but warms up quickly with food rewards. With high food rewards and support from his foster he is getting more confident and comfortable with new things. He would love someone who is willing to continue helping him be his best self. Don't forget the food rewards!
