Jonesy - Kitchener

My story

Jonesy may be a little shy when first meeting new people, but it doesn’t take long for his sweet personality to shine through. Once he’s comfortable, he’s all about attention, cuddles, and of course—anything that involves food! Jonesy also has a silly, goofy side that really shines when he’s playing with toys—he’ll keep you smiling with his antics. He can sometimes be a bit pushy when he wants something, but with consistent training and guidance, he’ll learn his manners and thrive. Jonesy would love to find a home where he can get plenty of love, patience, playtime, and maybe a few extra snacks along the way.IN-SHELTER NOTES & IDEAL HOMESIZE:35 lbs and still filling out to ideal weight!HOME TYPE:No Large or busy apartments as he can be vocal at times.CHILDREN:Yes- Older Children with large dog experience potentially compatible.CATS & SMALL ANIMALS:Yes- Cats potentially compatible with slow proper introduction.OTHER DOGS:Yes- Dogs potentially compatibleACTIVITY/ENERGY LEVEL:High; will need a lot of daily exercise, enrichment and mental stimulation.HUMAN COMPATIBILTY:First time dog owner possible.
