Joyful Jasper here and yes I AM a gem of pup. Though I’m a tripod, that doesn’t keep me from being a champion pup. 🐶 I have done well with dogs in previous homes. 🌭 I am very treat motivated! ⚾️ I love playing with toys! 😴 I love to lean in for snuggles and cuddles! 🐕‍🦺 I have done well walking on leash. I am remarkably agile, love to play, and always ready for the next adventure. Will you embrace my three-legged swagger and appreciate my big-hearted goofiness? I’m sure to fill your days with laughter, your lap with cuddles, and your life with unconditional love.

Brody I’m a labby one-year old boy, a little shy but very sweet, who's looking for a furever home. 🥰 I’m a gentle and dainty player and 🐕I have done well in playgroups with other shelter dogs. 👋I love being petted and scratched and my belly longs for rubs. 🍖I am known to accept treats gently, but I might be wiggly when I do. 🥖As a lab cross, I’m probably treat-motivated. 🍎 That means I’m ready to learn new tricks. 🌄 I would love to go on hikes and walks. My name comes from the Scottish Gaelic word for “broth,” so let’s get together and make some love stew. Is that the kind of treat that motivates you?
