Male | 7 months old | 45 pounds & growing! | Medium energy | Hasn’t met kids | Lives with a dog and cat | From Mexico | Fostered in Toronto | Fun, affectionate & a quick learner
Meet JAGGER. A fun pup who’s more or less down for anything, it’s safe to say this is a scruff that quickly came out of his shell in a new environment. The environment in question? A foster home in Toronto, complete with a cat, a resident dog, and an outdoor space.
From being found sick on the side of a road as a puppy to living in a shelter until recently, JAGGER has shown himself to be remarkably adaptable, settling in with ease. He peacefully coexists with the cat, giving her space, and quickly bonded with his foster dog sibling, who he looks to for guidance. We said he’s pretty much down for anything and thus far that includes, trail hikes, car rides, to the park for a round of fetch… the list goes on! Basically, what we’re saying is that JAGGER here would be a great adventure buddy.
JAGGER is still figuring out boundaries, so he’d be a great family dog in time, with any interactions with kids supervised as he can get rowdy. He is initially cautious of new people but with guidance has shown to warm up well.
Additionally, his curious side is starting to show, and he’s eager to pull toward interesting smells on walks. Leash training is a work in progress. Having a confident human by his side to help him navigate new surroundings will set him up for success. It’s his first month outside of the shelter and so all things are new!
Being clear about what you’re asking of him helps JAGGER show off his best self, and he responds well to praise, affection and treats. Oh and he loves belly rubs!
