What kind of home would be best for me? Say hello to Jaskier, your new best friend!

Jaskier is a beautiful Standard Poodle who is bursting with joy, love, and a playful spirit he can’t wait to share with his forever family.

Jaskier came back to us after spending two years in a loving home. Unfortunately, his adopter’s work situation changed, leaving Jaskier alone for long stretches of time. Wanting the best for him, she made the difficult decision to return him so he could find a new home with people who have more time to spend with this amazing boy.

Jaskier loves people! While he’d fit in well with a single person or couple, he’d thrive in a lively family environment—kids, regular visitors, grandparents, cousins—the more, the merrier. His tail wags a mile a minute when someone new comes around, and he absolutely lights up at any opportunity to play or cuddle.

He also gets along wonderfully with other dogs, big or small. Jaskier would do well in a home with another canine companion. He’s always had another dog by his side, and he finds comfort and joy in that bond.   He could be fine as an only dog if he was with a person who would become his best friend.  He’s also cat-friendly—Jaskier thinks everyone is a potential friend!

Jaskier is the perfect mix of playful and mellow. He’s a gentle soul with a slightly goofy streak—affectionate, sweet-natured, and eager to be involved in every part of your life. He’s the kind of dog who’ll follow you from room to room, just happy to be by your side.

Jaskier has been through quite a bit of training and it shows.  He walks nicely on a leash and knows how to sit. We do not know all his other cues but it would be fun to explore with him to see what he knows.  He’s incredibly eager to please and highly food motivated. With a little time, patience, and positive reinforcement, Jaskier will quickly learn whatever you’d like to teach him.

A typical day with Jaskier might start with some food enrichment and a walk around the neighborhood, followed by a spirited play session in the yard. By noon, he’ll be happily curled up on the couch for a nap.

What is my personality like? If you’re looking for a big, lovable companion who wants nothing more than to be your dog, Jaskier might just be the perfect match for you. Jaskier is a happy boy. He thinks cats are great too!

How do I act when I first meet new people? Friendly! Jaskier greets people with a wagging tail and a ready heart! He’s friendly and confident, always happy to make a new friend—and he’ll expect you to join in on the fun!

Other tips and tidbits: Jaskier's birthday is 3/27/2019.

House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
