Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Dog Name: Neville Jasper

Breed: Mixed breed

Sex: Male

Age: ~9 weeks

Weight: 9 pounds

Medical Needs: Remainder of puppy shots and rabies vaccine once old enough. Must be neutered by the end of August 2026. The appointment is included in the adoption fee at one of the clinics we use and the foster-to-adopt family will need to email GRR to request the appointment when puppy is 18-20 weeks at the clinic closest to them. (Options are Wilmington, Newark, Dover, Georgetown.) Keeping the appointment that's assigned by the clinic will be a condition of adoption. Foster-to-adopt families must live within one hour of DE and be willing to travel here for the pending appointment.

Housebroken: Doing well for a very young puppy, but not yet housebroken. He should not be left for more than 4 hours during the day until he's older.

Crate trained: Yes. Sleeps quietly through the night.

Good in car: Yes. He travels in a crate for his safety.

Good on leash: He has not been on a leash yet.

Energy level: Medium. Through the day, he has spurts of energy followed by frequent naps. He loves to play with his brothers, cuddle with his people, eat, and sleep!

Need a fenced in yard: No, but he would love one.

Dog friendly: Yes, he is a social, playful puppy.

If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive home? No, but he is a very young puppy who has not yet been alone.

Cat friendly: Unknown.

Kid Friendly: Unknown, but I wouldn't anticipate any issues. Proper supervision would be needed with small children.

If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? He is a very small, young, exuberant puppy who needs structure and boundaries to grow into his best self. He is just beginning to learn about life. Until he is a little bigger and understands the ground rules, he should be carefully monitored when interacting with children.

Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know: Neville Jasper is super social, smart, and playful. He loves to play, eat, cuddle, sleep, and repeat. The world is his oyster and he's eager to get started with his life.

Foster Location: Wilmington, DE

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
