Jeffery

fun lets-play-ball doggie!
male / 1-2 y o / 45 lbs

Jeff is all in all the time.. leaving him alone in a yard without stuff to do makes him frustrated. He needs to have a certain amount of enrichment in order to settle into chill out mode. He is not a dog who will be content with being let out into the back yard to entertain himself. Jeffrey is a young, playful guy and for some years to come that playful puppy energy needs to be spent in order for him to feel balanced!! He will give you his all, all the time..  is super engaged when walking on the leash, too, and knows a bounty of obedience skills! He knows to heel nicely at your left side and automatically sit when you stop in place. Jeff thrives in partnership whether that's doing agility, playing fetch, learning new skills or casually hiking in the woods, he is happiest when he is in company. 

Jeff & Roxie playing in the kiddie pool

He has been a wonderful pal to our shy little girl Roxie..  being with him and running alongside him as he chases after his ball.. back and forth gave her a confidence and ability to trust a good time to stay that way...  then one day she started chasing after her own ball (The Planet Dog yellow happy face ball.. every dog seems to have a favorite!) seeing her shed what once was a crippling fear and enter Jeffreys devil may care bubble of play has been so rewarding and makes us all really appreciate all the cool things about JEFF!! His focus keeps him from being distracted by new sounds or unfamiliar people and that has been so helpful for Roxie.. she tends to panic at such things but being with him and listening to Raffi songs convinces her theres no reason to pay mind to those scary unfamiliar distractions! ​

After having had some playtime, exercise or enrichment Jeff relaxes quite easy when indoors. He generally matches energy.. meaning if the environment around him is chaotic, he will be more juiced up. If his surroundings are calm, he will settle down and be calm as well. Jeff does happily lounge in a sun spot on the floor ..  at times gaze out the window doors. When someone walks by he’ll wag his tail, maybe get up to get a better look as who is around. And then eventually settle back down again. So peaceful! ​

At this point in his life Jeff we think would most enjoy sharing a home with fun loving adults and no cats. ​He fancies female dogs.. macho males... not so much!
