Introducing Jasper the Staffy, isn't he a knock-out? Who wouldn't fall in love with those gorgeous stripes 😍😍😍😍

Jasper is looking for a 5-star, forever family. A family that will love him just like he deserves to be loved.

Jasper is a typical Staffy who ADORES people and because of this he really struggles in the kennel environment. We would love to find him a home so he can have the 1:1 time he really craves.

Jasper is looking for the following type of home:

✅️ A private secure garden with a minimum of 6ft fencing.
✅️ A pet-free home.
✅️ An adult-only home
✅️ Owners that can help build Jasper's confidence. He will need patient and kind adopters that will give Jasper plenty of time to settle.
