My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Jefferson is looking for a home!
This boy was dumped out front the shelter and was so scared he had to be trapped. His previous home was not kind to him, and he will need a patient, experiences adopter who understands how badly his trust in humans was damaged.

Jefferson knows "sit", and has been good with the puppies at the shelter. He does not like other pitbulls, but he has been gentle and good with big fluffy dogs like Pyrs!

The shelters main concern with Jefferson is his behavior when an item is raised near him. He flinched and cowered around the camera during his photoshoot. Toys are ok, but we think an experienced adopter who can take their time with this boy is the best home for him. He is a lovebug once he trusts you! It does take about 4 visits with him for most folks to earn his trust, but some young women have had him take to them right away 💕

If you would like to meet Jefferson, please call Guthrie Animal Shelter (405-282-1776) or send us a message over on facebook. Our adopt-a-pet email does not get checked outside of shelter hours.
