Story
Sir Jeffie’s Backstory:
Sir Jeffie was taken into an overcrowded animal control facility where they euthanize due to lack of space. Animal Saints Rescue Society was asked to get him out safely to give him a second chance at life.
Breed and Hair Notes:
Jeffie has hair and not fur. He appears to be a Poodle and Shih Tzu. Perhaps another breed is represented as well? What do you see?
PLEASE NOTE: Jeffie’s hair will grow indefinitely, and he will need professional grooming every 4-8 weeks. Only apply if you understand the additional maintenance and cost that these dear hair-not-fur souls need and are willing to commit to life for such care.

Additional Care:
Grooming: Jeffie was just de-matted and groomed. He was very sweet and patient about being groomed. He is very much in need of attention, and he was grateful to be getting a lot of it.
Potty routine:
Jeffie goes potty on pads in the sanctuary as well as goes outside during playtime. To get him settled into a routine based on your schedule and direction for where to go potty, you’ll need to keep him in a designated place with potty pads initially.
Personality:
Jeffie is very much in need of a person. When he is with our volunteers, he is more interested in them than the other dogs. He asks to get picked up so he can give and receive hugs.
Jeffie is young, but he has a gentleness about him that is endearing. He is one of the quieter fosters in our sanctuary at present, and he seems to hang out with the older dogs in the group. He can certainly play with the more exuberant and youthful here, but he is finished playing when the others still continue. He starts to look for the humans again so he can get another hug.
Jeffie’s most endearing quality is that he loves to dance. Any chance he gets, he will dance and walk about on his back legs!
What Jeffie needs in his lifetime family. Is it you?
Routine and Training
Jeffie’s youth makes him in ideal student for positive reinforcement training classes. He is very sensitive and eager to please.
Jeffie could be okay as an only dog in a home, provided he could meet dog friends nearby often. do see Jeffie enjoy the company of other dogs and sleeps in the same bed with other fosters here in our sanctuary. If you need to be gone for a few hours every day, having other dogs to cuddle with would be very good for him.
Jeffie loves to run about in the sanctuary’s back garden, and we can see him loving walks. His youth is in want of exercise.
Jeffie will be best in a home where there are older, respectful children and experienced adults, ready to guide a young dog into adulthood.
Love and Commitment
At Animal Saints Rescue Society, our goal is to keep dogs out of overcapacity animal control facilities and out of a re-homing cycle. We place the dogs we save into lifetime families. With this in mind, we seek families who understand that an adoption is a lifetime commitment. The families who adopt from us believe that love is not a feeling, it is a decision. Some humans still believe it’s okay to try out a dog for a few weeks, a few months, or even a few years — then discard when they get bored or don’t want to deal with emotional or physical ailments. We are looking for the empathetic, kind, and patient humans in this world who view these Animal Saints as family, and they will do whatever it takes to give them what they need.
Will that family be you? We look forward to finding out and receiving your application!
Requested adoption donation fee is a minimum of $650. This is to partly cover his medical expenses that our 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue incurred to give him a second chance at life.
