My story

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

Meet Jiro ??Jiro recently enjoyed a break from the shelter, and his foster family couldn’ t say enough good things about him. In a home setting, Jiro truly shines—he’s calm, gentle, and very obedient. He may be a little shy when first meeting new people, but once he feels comfortable, his playful and affectionate personality comes out. Jiro loves going on walks, carrying around stuffed toys, and spending time with his people without being overly energetic. Indoors, he’s an absolute dream: quiet, respectful, and well-mannered. He didn`t show destructive behaviors, nor did he have accidents in the house. He also showed no signs of separation anxiety and peacefully ignored the household cat. This smart boy already knows come, stay, and “go potty,” walks nicely on leash, and rides well in the car. Jiro would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a sweet, easygoing dog who’s happy just being by your side.
