Jasper, a spirited hound mix, is searching for his perfect match in Thurston County.

This vocal pup brings boundless energy and personality to every interaction, making him an ideal companion for active families who appreciate his natural communication style.

His hound heritage means he thrives on daily adventures, from long walks to scent-tracking expeditions that satisfy his instinctive needs.

Jasper's singing voice reflects his breed's natural tendencies rather than problematic behavior, requiring owners who understand and embrace this charming trait.

The adoption fee covers comprehensive veterinary care including spaying or neutering, essential vaccinations, microchipping, deworming, and flea treatment.

Prospective families should contact the shelter at 360-352-2510 to verify availability, as popular dogs like Jasper often find homes quickly.

With shelter websites updating frequently, calling ahead prevents disappointment for families ready to welcome this adventure-loving hound into their lives.
