Jasper is an unbelievably sweet boy, and is obsessed with snuggling and laying on you and giving lots of kisses. He thinks he’s a lap dog! He is fully vaccinated and neutered, 56lbs.
Unfortunately, I need to rehome him due to his severe reactivity to my cat, but he is VERY good with my 5yr old female pittie mix. He’s incredibly submissive to both her and to people, but has a high prey drive and from what I have seen CANNOT be in a home with small animals (cats, chickens, pocket pets, etc.) He knows how to settle down and loves stuffie toys and chasing balls. I have a very nice crate if needed. Although we’re still working on it, he is able to relax in the crate and sleeps and eats in it. We’re also working on leash training, and he’s VERY food motivated and eager to please & learn. I haven’t had him for a very long period, and truly don’t think it’s safe to try to prolong the risk in my home to train his prey drive out as it’s severe and triggered easily. Owner with husky or high-energy breed experience preferred. Please reach out, anyone would be incredibly lucky to have him as their buddy, and I’m devastated it’s not working out.
