Story
 Currently located at our Owensboro, KY location. Jasper is a 1-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix with a soul far wiser than a puppy should ever have to be.   Calm, gentle, and incredibly well-mannered, he walks quietly on a leash—no pulling, no jumping… just patiently hoping someone will notice him. The heartbreaking part? Jasper has grown up in the shelter. This is all he knows. He’s likely never had a couch to curl up on, a bed of his own, or toys that were truly his. While other puppies learned what “home” means, Jasper learned how to wait. He’s friendly with other dogs and would do great in a multi-pet home—but what he wants most is something he’s never had: a family of his own. Someone to finally choose him and show him love outside kennel walls. Jasper shouldn’t spend another day waiting. Please give him the home he deserves.
