Meet Jersey, the ultimate adventure buddy with a heart full of love! This affectionate 6mth old Shephard/Collie pup thrives on snuggles and is always eager to learn, making him a joy to train. He walks respectfully on a lead and enjoys every adventure, whether it’s a scenic hike or a stroll around the neighborhood. Playtime and fetch are his favorite activities, and he loves engaging with both people and other dogs. He especially enjoys a good rough-and-tumble session, often playing enthusiastically with the kids in his foster family. However, he understands boundaries and, when told to stop with a firm voice, knows when enough is enough. Plus, he already knows basic commands like sit, wait, and touch, showing just how smart and responsive he is.

While Jersey is a wonderful companion, he’s still working on a couple of things. He has shown a bit of food guarding, likely from having to compete for meals in a group puppy setting. However, with patience and training, he has improved significantly, to the point where he now accepts petting and affection during mealtimes without a response. His off-leash recall is also a work in progress, but with his eagerness to learn, he’ll only continue to improve. 

Jersey seems to be his best self with another dog in the home. Two attempts at finding a family without another dog and it didn't work out. In foster care with a dog friend, he has been great!

If you’re looking for a loving, adventurous, and trainable dog to be your new best friend, Jersey is ready to meet you!
