Jeff Probst is here and he’s ready to run the show! This dapper gentleman arrived on the scene with an inquisitive air and a take charge attitude – all of Muttville’s a stage and his Survivor-themed companions merely players. Velvety black fur, a gently frosted face, and pointy ears that’ll have you thinking he’s part rabbit – Mr. Probst is the total package!

- This boy is such a distinguished fellow! He hangs out in my office when he visits HQ and loves to burry himself in the bed next to my desk – it’s so cute! He would be a great work from home companion as he likes to curl up next you while you type away on your computer, and will encourage you to take cuddle breaks to clear your head! Good boy, Jeff!
- If we were to elect a mayor of Muttville, Jeff Probst would win, hands (or paws) down! This guy is charismatic, so smart, and loves to be right in the center of the action. He has absolutely enchanted our vet team, and if you ever can’t find him, it’s because they’ve stolen him away to keep them company! Jeff likes to burrow in his blankets and roll around on his back when he’s happy, which is super cute. He’s generally just a friendly boy, but when he spots his humans, he gets so happy and excited, and is always ready to go for a long walk or a new adventure!
Here’s some notes from his foster:
Jeff is full of love. He loves sitting on laps, he loves exploring the backyard, he loves going out for walks, and he absolutely loves meal time. He’s a very affectionate little guy and is happiest on laps. He does well on public transport or going for rides in the car and can walk a couple of miles. At 7 years old he can easily handle stairs and getting up and down off of the couch.
Jeff is a smart dog and quickly learned the rules of the house. He is like an adolescent boy. Lots of energy on walks and at meal time but happy to just hang out at home. (If he had thumbs, I’m sure he would be playing video games!) He likes hanging out with my senior guy, who is about his size, but he would do fine as an only dog as well.
He is sleeping through the night and pretty calm in the evenings. He is making great progress on housebreaking. He is very treat motivated and this has helped significantly with his leash reactivity (which seems to be with only big dogs at this point) but crossing the street when big dogs are coming has worked wonders.
He sleeps well through the night and is a cute burrower. He loves curling up under a pile of blankets, so it’s best to pat fluffy blankets before sitting down!
He prefers when his humans are around, but we have been practicing alone time, and while he may be a bit worried at the start, he does a good job waiting for his humans to come home.
Jeff may have grown up in a loving situation without a lot of clear house rules but he is a good student as we teach him the rules of our house. We are continuing to work on some of the Ps and Qs of living in a home. Great news is that he has a great attitude and is a good learner. He will continue to need positive reinforcement on some things but he is so easy to handle that temporary accommodations while he gets up to speed are a breeze.
We love Jeff Probst and you will too!
