Jasper AKA Jazzy

The Perfect Dog

Jasper was too perfect for his own good. He was handsome, healthy, had all his teeth and a great personality. Not at all what you expect from a rescue dog. Nope, not one pathetic trait or ailment. Nothing to get him the pity vote. Just plain perfect. The dogs with no teeth, ailments and skittish temperments seem to get adopted quickly, sometimes within a week; but not Jasper. He stayed with us for 6 weeks. Not that we minded; he was a great dog to have around . He was like the activity director; he could get everybody playing. At the adoption events he was a perfect gentleman and smiled and wagged at all the prospective adoptive families. Finally a family with 3 well behaved children looked at him and liked him but decided on another dog, a jack russell terrier. We were a little disappointed because Jasper seemed to love the kids. The next week they were back, (things didn't work out with the other dog,) to see if Jasper was still available. So at long last Jasper found his forever home with a nice family with a stay at home mom to hang out with all day while the kids were in school. They reported he was as "perfect" as we had described him.
