About Jason | |

|
Jason was found as a stray. He is a sweet little dog that is fine with all of our volunteers. Jason went to the nursing home to visit the residents and he was a big success! He sat on their laps and was very well-behaved. He loved everyone and everyone loved him. He is crate trained.
Foster Update - November: Jason is full of joy and every time someone comes in the door they get a most enthusiastic greeting! He loves his nylabone and I have not seen him trying to chew on anything inappropriate lately. We got him one of the small nubby nylabones and he runs around with it and spends quite a bit of time chewing on it. He likes to run across the living room floor and then slide across the tile to stop. He was having occasional accidents in the house so we put newspaper down in the spot where he always went and he has used the paper but it is infrequent. Once he's had his evening meal, he turns into quite the cuddlebug and wants to snuggle. During the day he will let you know if he wants snuggling - he will come to you and tell you, in part by bouncing up and down on his back legs and also vocally. We did get another foster and she can be quite yappy. Jason will not hesitate to join in once she starts or if he hears another dog barking outside. I would not recommend him for an apartment or condo due to that.
Foster Update - September: Jason is a quick learner and knows sit, down, stay, come. Tried him in the pool again and while he is a very fast swimmer, he wasn't real thrilled with it! We have had lots of people in and out of the house recently and he seems to love everybody. He *can* be very yappy if separated or if he is outside and sees something HE deems to be a danger. He does like bones but should be separated from any other dogs as he can get protective. We had a younger foster dog last week and Jason and the foster tumbled around and played almost non-stop. Jason wore out before the foster did! He loves sleeping under the covers and likes to be with his people whenever possible. He will also just go in one of the dog crates and lay down during the day. He loves everybody. He can be protective and quite vocal. He loves to be outside but is easily distracted and likes to bark at any people or pets he sees. We have caught him chewing on things he shouldn't a few times and always redirect him with a bone or toy. He definitely has some puppyish behaviors.
Foster Update: Jason is such a smart little guy and learns things very quickly. He is very fast and zips around the yard. We tried him in the pool and he did swim, but it wasn't his favorite activity! He loves to follow his people around and know where they are all the time. He loves it outside. We crate him when we are gone, mostly because we have multiple dogs, but I have caught him mouthing one of my shoes a couple of times. He can get a little mouthy (not biting) occasionally but stops when told to and can easily be switched to a bone. He likes to chase squirrels and even a butterfly once in a while! When he is not busy, if he is not on a dog bed, he likes to cuddle or be on a lap. He had cherry eye, which was repaired but the repair did not take. Our vet said it should not be a problem in any way, only if it bothers his people.
