Tell us a little bit about your pup!
At 12 years old, Jasper is the old man of the house, but neither looks nor acts it! With his affable, bouncy personality strangers often mistake him for being our youngest dog. Jasper was adopted in 2012 after a West Virginian shelter found him wandering in the woods. He still has a bit of the wilderness in him to this day, and prefers to spend as much time as possible outdoors walking, hiking, or even just sitting out sunbathing on the porch. (He loves walking enough that he once tricked houseguests into taking him on three extra walks!)

Jasper has never met a stranger, human or dog, and is especially great with children. Our nieces and nephews love to hug all over him and he is always patient and gentle. Most of our friends think Jasper is silent, but he sure does talk a lot when he wants an extra treat or some attention, and his personality seems to only grow bigger and goofier with age.
