UPDATE July 21, 2025
JASPER - A nice local Portland shelter boy who is struggling! Outside on a walk, he is a fun, loving boy and sweet boy who leans in for pets and loves to roll around in the grass. He deserves a great home.
Jasper is deteriorating, and is spending most of his time in the
outside part of his kennel, sometimes trembling, scared and trying
to escape the loud shelter barking. Because he is in the outside section, visitors don't see him when they
walk through the kennels. Jasper is also an active Pointer mix, and many potential adopters are NOT (active people) so he would not be a good match for them.
Jasper was originally adopted from a well known local shelter who
won't take him back due to cat prey drive and barrier reactivity to other shelter dogs walking past him. He has done well in
playgroups and was deemed dog social, but as Jasper becomes more stressed the longer duration that he is kenneled, he tends to become more impatient in playgroups unless
the dog is also highly active.
Volunteers do their best to get the dogs out daily and he enjoys that
time immensely, but that only counts for less than 30 minutes in the entire day.
Jasper needs structure, and a stable loving home who can handle a larger dog with gentle /firm leadership, walk on some sort of non-pull harness, provide daily mental and physical exercise and adores him. And someone who doesn't give up on him. "JASPER" Available for adoption at Multnomah County Animal Services!

Meet Jasper, a handsome, middle-aged Pointer/Hound mix with a heart full
of adventure! This intelligent and spirited boy is looking for an
active home where his strong instincts can be appreciated. Jasper
absolutely loves to explore the world with his keen nose, but he's still
learning the ropes of polite leash walking and can be quite a puller.
He's a smart cookie who's eager to please, and with consistent training,
he'll become a wonderful walking partner. It's important to note that
Jasper has a strong prey drive and must go to a home without cats or
other small animals. If you're an experienced dog owner ready to embrace
a loyal companion with a zest for life, Jasper might just be your
perfect match! 💕
