Dog of the Week: Jasper!

Please put your paws together for Jasper, our first Dog of the Week for 2012!



Hi my name is Jasper. I'm a 5 year old chocolate lab with a tattoo in my ear. I was rescued from a pound in Quebec where they said my time was up, whatever that means. I'm 100 pounds of pure love. My foster family has a yellow lab and human kids too. I play well with everyone. The 5 year old boy likes to lead me around on his adventures and I happily follow him through the house to see where we might go next. I am not very vocal, though I can bark if the need should arise. I paw at the back door when I want to go in or out of the house and I love the snow. Apparently I am going to the vet to get "tutored" right after Christmas, that sounds like fun!!

I know my commands and will happily perform them if you're holding food. I am very good at keeping you company while you are eating and ensuring that no stray bits hit the floor. I'm going to need some encouragement to improve my table manners. My nose easily touches the counter in the kitchen and I like to keep an eye on what you're storing up there. I have a reasonable amount of restraint when you're around, but if you leave something yummy up there and walk away it can be difficult for me to resist.

At night I like to curl up on your laundry or a pillow that is on the floor. I snore a bit but love to be in a room with my people. I love to get stroked and I can sit by you for hours if you would like to give me affection. I'm not one to jump on the couch, I'm happy to curl up at your feet and have a snooze.

I can't wait to meet my new family and start a new life full of good times!
