My story

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

Meet **Jefferson** — our Scooby-Doo look-alike!
This handsome boxer mix is almost two years old and the perfect blend of playful energy and cuddle-bug charm. He plays hard, naps hard, and loves every minute of it.

**Loves all people**
**Great with other dogs**, especially those who match his playful vibe
**Toy enthusiast**
**Crate trained**
**Would thrive with another dog or an active family**
**Expert snuggler**

A fenced yard would make his tail wag even more. He’s about **60–75 pounds**, adored by every dog he meets, and an absolute favorite on the farm.

Jefferson is ready to bring joy, playtime, and plenty of cuddles to his forever home!

Jefferson (TJ) is a growing boy. He now weighs 37 pounds and is 6 months old. This sweet boy is looking for his forever home. Loves to cuddle, loves to play, crate trained, good with other dogs, loves people

The ridiculousness that is Jefferson (aka TJ). He LOVES being outside. Doesn’t mind the baby pool. He just wants to be with his people and his dog friends. We are working on kennel training. He’s doing way better with potty training too! He would do great in a house with patient dogs and kids galore. He’s learning to NOT use this little puppy teeth except for good. I’m not sure his ears will ever go down!

Available dogs are met by pre-approved adopters ONLY after a match is made.
