DESCRIPTION
Lloyd is a gentle, loyal boy with a calm and easygoing personality that makes him a wonderful companion to have by your side. He was originally adopted from AWF about six months ago and recently returned through no fault of his own when his owners realized they were not emotionally ready for another dog. Despite the change, Lloyd has remained sweet, steady, and affectionate with the people around him.
This handsome guy has a soft, independent nature balanced with a loyal side that enjoys companionship and quiet connection. He walks nicely on a leash, takes treats gently, keeps his kennel clean, and is house trained, making him an easy addition to many different types of homes. Lloyd also gets along well with other dogs and has done well with children ages 7 and older.
While he enjoys daily activity and time outdoors, Lloyd is not overly demanding and seems happiest simply being included in everyday life with his people. He has a calm confidence about him and settles into routines nicely, which makes him a great option for first-time dog owners looking for a steady, loving companion.
With his all-black face, silky coat, floppy ears, and adorable “radar ears” look with one ear up and one ear down, Lloyd has a unique charm that’s impossible not to love. He’s the kind of dog who quietly works his way into your heart and becomes a loyal best friend before you even realize it.
