Jazzper

Hi there, I’m Jazzper!  I’m a male, 60 pound, 5 year old Aussie Shepherd mix.   I’m going to be honest with you, I need to lose a few pounds.  Want to get a head start on your New Year’s resolution?  I make a great running partner!  We could get in shape together.   I would require, however, to be your only canine training partner.  Humans are fine!  I just don’t like getting too close to other dogs.  My foster mom says that with dedicated training, I may be able to eventually coexist peacefully with other dogs.    My favorite things are running and walking in the neighborhood and playing with my tug in the backyard.  I love learning new tricks.  My favorite is when I balance a treat on my nose and my foster mom tells me to “get it.”  Then I flip it into the air and catch it in my mouth.  Yum!   Great things about me: Best as an only dog in the home Good with dog-savvy cats Great with humans over the age of 12 House trained and kennel trained   My requirements: Daily physical exercise (runs or walks) Daily mental stimulation (I love to play tug in the backyard) Dedication to kennel time Openness to muzzle training   I would like to continue to work with my professional trainer and am looking for a forever person who is dedicated to helping me be the best dog I can be.  I am a super smart dog who needs breed-specific (herding dog) mental stimulation everyday.  We could learn so many new things together.  I know all of this is a lot to ask.  But I really am the sweetest boy.  And after we exercise, we can snuggle on the couch together and watch some TV or read a book.     I’m looking for a patient handler with a consistent schedule.  Could that person be you?  Apply to adopt me at: https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication and we can set up a time to meet.
