Meet Stanley! This handsome guy is basically a professional people lover, and if you've got hands to pet him he's already your biggest fan. Stanley is a medium-energy boy who enjoys a few rounds of fetch before he flops down for a nap. He's an easygoing pup who will thrive in most any home.

Stanley's goal in life is to be friends with everyone. When meeting new people, this gentleman will wait until he's noticed and then offer all of his affection. Stanley LOVES other dogs and offers them submissive greetings before becoming instant best friends. He hasn't spent much time with cats or kids yet, but he's gentle and patient and would likely do well with them. Stanley's hobbies include chewing on his stuffed alligator, seeking pets from his humans, and getting compliments on how handsome he is.

Stanley is a smart cookie who catches onto new things very quickly. He already knows “sit,” “crate,” “here,” and “go outside,” among other commands. Stanley is wonderful in his crate, and will often go into it by himself to spend quality time with his chew toys. This good boy has also been doing amazing with his housetraining on a consistent schedule of potty breaks, and will alert when he needs to go out. Stanley is good on his leash and is excited to keep refining his leash manners. He's eager to learn and seems to genuinely enjoy making his people happy, so he will thrive with continued opportunities to train and learn new things.

If you're looking for a loyal sidekick who's affectionate, laid back, and ready to fit right into your family, Stanley is waiting to meet you. Could he be your new best friend?
