Here's what the humans have to say about me:
My name is Jaylen and I am about 3 years old and about 40lbs.
My life got off to a ruff start, and the folks at ASF took me in. Since then, I have been thriving and not looking back and I am now ready to find my Furever home.
Things my foster mom thinks you should know about me:
I am timid and loud sounds scare me. I spent some time very hungry, searching for food so I get excited when I see food, and sometimes I will swipe it off the counter if it’s within reach. Strangers, especially strange dogs, scare me when they approach me. This should always be a delicate and thoughtful approach when you want me to meet new people and animals. I am scared of children and would not do well in a home with them. In fact, I prefer more mature parent(s) that will be patient and understanding of my needs.
I absolutely love cuddles and snuggles. I like the comfort of my crate and I often can be found hoarding squeaky toys in my crate. I am highly motivated by food, and affection. I love to explore outdoors and have learned that leash walking is fun as well. I enjoy car rides, and the car rides that result in getting a pup cup are my favorite. I don’t jump on furniture, but am happy to be on the furniture if you help me up. If you like to snuggle in bed, I AM YOUR GUY!!!
I have several foster brothers and a sister but prefer to be an only child or one of 2 (dogs) in the house. I am not going to be the alpha dog, and should not have an aggressive alpha as a sibling. I am easily intimidated, and become uncomfortable.
Cats are cool, they don’t phase me at all. A home with it's own fenced yard is required as dog park environments are not desired. A meet and greet with potential adopters is required.
I am housebroken, UTD on vaccines, on heartworm and flea/tick prevention, and microchipped.
