Jepp may be tiny, but he’s packed with personality. This little firecracker has opinions, boundaries, and a whole lot of charm once you earn his trust. He can be snappy and temperamental with new people, but after a few slow, positive meetings (three is his magic number) he turns into a loving, loyal, toy‑tossing goofball.
Jepp loves to play and has plenty of energy, but he also has a soft and snuggly side. He has some quirks, including occasional resource guarding, so he needs a home with adults or older teens who can read his body language and respect his space. Jepp would do best as the only pet in the home and will happily soak up all of your attention.
Because he can be reactive to unfamiliar people and noises, Jepp will likely do best in a house rather than an apartment, with adopters who understand that slow introductions and patience are the keys to helping him shine.
Jepp has been waiting over a year for someone who sees past his tough‑guy exterior and believes in the sweet dog underneath. If you’re ready to take a chance on a small dog with a big personality, Jepp is more than ready to meet you!
