Meet Jag! 🐾

Jag is a handsome 3-year-old Shepherd/Hound mix weighing about 59 pounds who is equal parts explorer, sweetheart, and loyal companion.

After arriving from West Virginia, Jag needed a little time to adjust to all the new sights, sounds, and routines of rescue life. While he can be a bit cautious when faced with unfamiliar situations, he's shown us again and again that he gains confidence quickly and forms strong bonds with the people around him.

One thing that's impossible to miss about Jag is how much he enjoys meeting people. At a recent outdoor adoption event, he greeted visitors with tail wags and kisses all day long. Volunteers described him as a wonderful dog to have at the event, and he was very well received by everyone he met. After spending hours in the summer heat surrounded by people and other dogs, Jag remained a good sport, with only a couple brief grumbles when everyone was getting tired.

Recently, Jag joined a local high school track team outing where he spent the day meeting students and enjoying a change of scenery. Although the bicycles were a little intimidating at first, he quickly relaxed and settled in. By the end of the day, it was obvious he was having a great time—and his student handler completely fell in love with him.

Everyone who spends time with Jag comes away saying what a good boy he is. Beneath his handsome looks is a gentle dog who simply needs a family willing to give him a little time to settle in and feel secure. Once he does, you'll discover a loyal companion ready to share life's adventures with you.
