EXERCISE NEEDS: Daily Workout
EASE OF TRAINING: Eager
FRIENDLINESS WITH PEOPLE: Outgoing
PLAYFULNESS: Semi-Pro
FRIENDLINESS WITH DOGS: Friendly
LEASH MANNERS: Pulls Often
Say hello to Jasper! This lovable 25-pound mix is overflowing with affection and enthusiasm. He is a truly dedicated cuddle bug who believes the closer he is to you, the better!
Jasper’s social life revolves around other dogs—he thrives on canine company! If you have a resident dog, they should be prepared for some enthusiastic, rough-and-tumble play, as Jasper loves to wrestle and tumble.
Walking Note: While Jasper is eager to get going, he does better on a harness than a collar! He can pull strongly when excited, and a harness prevents choking and makes walks much more enjoyable for both him and his handler.
Though he has a huge heart, he can feel nervous around large groups of people or very small children. Jasper is seeking a patient, affectionate home where he can have a consistent routine, lots of dog play, and a warm lap to melt into.

We hope you meet your four-legged love at SPCA Florida! Our goal is to help you find a companion that best suits your household. We have wonderful animals available and a great deal of information to share with you.
Adoption Process
When you arrive at the Adoption Center we invite you to take a look around and meet the animals. We encourage you and your family to spend time with each pet you are interested in to see which is the best fit. Our trained staff and volunteers are happy to answer questions about the animals and provide you with whatever background information we have regarding that pet. Please keep in mind we do not always know all of the adoptable animals’ history or background depending on how they arrived at SPCA Florida.
If you currently have a dog at home we recommend you bring him or her in to interact with your potential new dog.
When you find a pet you would like to adopt the next step is to fill out an Adoption Application, which will be reviewed with you by one of our trained counselors. The counselors will answer any questions you may have. If the pet is already sterilized he or she can go home the same day, otherwise the surgery is normally scheduled the next day and the pet can go home the day of surgery.
Adoption Fees
Adoption fees vary depending on species, breed and age. The fee includes:
•Spay/Neuter surgery for unsterilized pets

•Cats are dewormed, tested for feline leukemia and feline aids and receive vaccinations for feline distemper, rhinotracheitis, calici virus and Rabies
