About Jager (Shiba inu) in Queen Creek

Jager is waiting for you at Central Arizona Animal Rescue in Queen Creek, AZ 85142. Hi there! My name is Jager… and I’ve been waiting just for YOU! Yes—you! The one with the kind eyes and the big heart. I’m a happy, wiggly, tail‑wagging pup on the lookout for my forever family. I’m about 25–30 pounds of pure sunshine, and I’m told I might be a Shiba Inu–Jack Russell Terrier mix. I don’t know what that means exactly, but everyone keeps saying I’m adorable, so I’ll take it. Let me tell you a little about my journey so far. I started out in California with my mom, dad, and my three siblings. We were all turned in to the pound together—kind of scary, kind of confusing, but we stuck close and kept our spirits up. I had to wait there until I could hitch a ride to Central Arizona Animal Rescue, where I’m staying now. The people here are super nice, but they keep telling me that the best part of my story hasn’t happened yet… the part where you come find me. If I had to describe myself, I’d say I’m a happy-go-lucky, eager-to-please, toy-loving little guy with a heart full of love and a brain ready to learn. I get along great with the other dogs here—playtime is my favorite time—and I’m always excited to meet new humans. When I see you, my whole body wiggles like I’m made of springs. I’ve probably never lived inside a house before, so everything is new and exciting. Doors? Fascinating. Soft beds? Amazing. Refrigerators? Magical food boxes. I’m learning fast, though, and I promise I’ll try my hardest to make you proud. Okay, confession time: I’m still figuring out this whole “leash” thing. It’s a little weird having something attached to me while I walk, but I’m trying! I’m a smart boy, and I love treats, praise, and making you smile—so I know I’ll get the hang of it quickly with a patient human by my side. I’ve got a short, easy-care coat, so I won’t need fancy grooming. A quick brush, a belly rub, and I’m good to go. My Health Stuff (the boring but important part)
