Jasper is availble for adoption
Hello! I’m Jasper, a white German Shepherd that was found as a stray in Jasper, GA. I am currently being fostered by Spirited K9, where I have been learning manners and obedience commands.
I am very loyal and affectionate toward people I know. I love to train, cuddle, get belly rubs, play, go on walks, and explore the outdoors with my trainers. I have been taught sit, down, come, heel, place, stay, leave-it, and off! I am able to walk nicely on a leash; I am also crate and house trained! Did I mention that I am neutered and up-to-date of vaccinations?
Like most shepherds, I have a natural guard dog instinct and a lot of energy! I will alert to any strangers around the home. To help with my energy, my trainers showed me how to run on a treadmill, I love it! I also tend to shed heavily so be prepared for a lot of fluff.
Something to know about me, I really don’t like strangers (especially when they stick their hand in my face) It takes me time to bond with a new person. For this reason, I have been trained to wear a muzzle when in situations where I will be around strangers. Once I am bonded, I am very silly and affectionate!
I am looking for a home where there are no kids or other dogs. This way I can be the center of attention! I also require on-going training and a fenced back yard where I can feel free to explore.
If you are interested in Jasper, please Spirited K9 or CastOff Pet Rescue a message!

Exercise is a key component of a happy, well/behaved dog. If you can't find find the time to go for a walk, a treadmill is an excellent alternative!

Group Play and Obedience
Learning when it is time to work and play with other dogs is a major part of our board and train program! #dogobedience #dogtraining #spiritedk9
Luna - Platform Work
Luna is mastering hopping onto a platform for obedience training. Platforms allow us to limit the pups space to wander, setting them up for success!
We have just lowered the platform to the ground, making obedience cues more practical.
Molly - Muzzle Conditioning
Muzzles don't have to be scary!
Molly is developing a positive association with a muzzle so we can work on her aggression toward other animals safely.
When wearing the muzzle, Molly is still able to open her mouth, eat, and drink.
Jax working on his recall! A part of Jax's training has included learning to use an e-collar.
E-collars are very humane tools that allow us to communicate with our dogs from a distance.
I personally like to call them Freedom Collars as they allow us to give our dog more freedom which leads to higher quality lives!
