To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.


Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.
I am still learning how to walk on leash, especially in new environments that can be overwhelming. I need verbal encouragement, patience and of course treats from you to help me!
I'm a fiend for food! Snacks are a great way to make friends with me and win your way into my heart.
I am a sweet and sensitive boy who takes a little time to build trust and make friends.
I have been diagnosed with fractured incisor which means I will need extractions in the future.


The type of home I'm looking for:
I would flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home. No busy apartments or neighborhoods.
I need to be the only dog in the home.
I need a home without cats or other small animals.
I need to go to an adult only home.
