Jess

Jess is a very handsome 2 year old, weighing about 90 lbs. He is an owner surrender who can be mouthy at times and rather than spend time teaching him, his family gave him up. Jess had been left in the back yard by his previous family for the last several months they had him, so he is relearning house manners. He knows some basic commands, rides well in the car, walks beautifully on the leash, and is a good jogging partner. He still has the energy of a young dog, but settles down nicely.

Preferring to be with his human, he gets a little anxious if left outside alone. This is a smart boy who will open doors with flipper handles if they are not locked. The previous owners had a cat and Jess ignored the cat he met at a volunteer's home. Jess seems to have particular interest in playing with female dogs. He does not have issues with the male dogs he's met, but doesn't seem to want to play as much with them. Jess has a loud, deep bark, but does not seem to be an excessive barker. This boy likes to stick his entire face in a bucket of water when he goes to get a drink. We were told he likes playing in water as well, so a home with a pool or kiddie pool for him would be put to good use. With continued obedience training and socialization, Jess will make a fine companion.

This is a Level 2 Dog
