Hi, new friend! Jairo here.

I live for the perfect nap between morning zoomies and evening couch time, taking people slowly until they earn my full trust and devotion.

They wrote that I love to play. Understatement. I'd hike, fetch, and nap with you, in that order.

I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.

I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that scare you off — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.

Born and (almost) raised right here in Oakland.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

If all goes well, I could be curled up with my new pack by Halloween — maybe yours, whether you adopt me or just help me get noticed.

Either way, thank you for seeing me today. That part mattered more than you know. — Jairo

About Jairo

Jairo is a handsome, 4-year-old German Shepherd mix, weighing 81 pounds. He is proving to be a model houseguest in his foster home. He may a bit shy and hesitant to interact when meeting new people but warming up quickly. He starts his day with bursts of zoomies and playbows, along with a few pets. He's house trained and non-destructive when left alone. Jairo has great leash manners and knows "sit". He may become a bit bouncy when he gets too excited with his person but responds well to redirection. Jairo is looking for an adopter to continue his journey building trust - someone who can take their time, read his cues, and let him connect on his timeframe. There's an amazing dog in there - he just needs to know he can trust his human. Given his timid nature, he's best suited for an adult only home or one with older children.
