Story
******Please note, once you complete the initial screening, you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks, and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************
We are a volunteer-run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision-making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog.
Jafar, estimated age 1 year, neutered male, Labrador retriever mix at 36lbs. He is in Houston, Texas and can be transported out of state once an approved adopter is lined up!
Jafar is a lovable, medium-energy puppy with an incredibly soft coat and an equally gentle heart. He’s fantastic with dogs of all sizes and has a respectful and friendly play style. His polite tail wag and single greeting bark make him a hit with canine friends both on and off leash. With people, he’s a bit more reserved; he wasn’t well-socialized early on, so strangers can be overwhelming at first. But with patience and a calm introduction, he warms up and shows his affectionate, cuddly personality. Because he can get a little mouthy when excited, he’s better suited to a home with older children.
On walks, Jafar stays close and doesn’t pull, though he does have a tendency to zigzag his way along, taking in everything around him. At home, he’s still working on potty training and has an occasional accident, and the crate isn’t his favorite place, though he’s crated when left alone and during meal times. He shares toys well and loves playing with them, even if they don’t always survive his enthusiasm. He has also learned how to sit on command.
Jafar would do best in a moderately active home with another friendly, confident dog to help boost his confidence on walks and help him feel brave in new places. His foster would adopt him in a heartbeat if her home wasn’t already full, which says everything about the wonderful dog he’s becoming.
Jafar is a wonderful puppy with tons of potential. He’s sweet, dog-friendly, and cuddly. Yes, he’s still learning the basics and building confidence—but he’s worth every minute. If you’re looking for a pup who will grow into an amazing companion with your guidance, Jafar is ready to meet you… from a respectful distance at first, of course.
