Meet this adorable 2-year-old, 22-pound Spitz mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He was surrendered when his owner moved and couldn’t take him, and he spent much of his early life in a crate. Despite that, he has remained an incredibly sweet, gentle, and happy boy who truly loves people.
He adores children and is gentle and affectionate with them. He gets along well with other dogs and is fine with cats, though he may try to engage them in play. He is friendly with everyone he meets and happily greets new people. He walks nicely on leash and is high energy, but his favorite thing is simply being close to his person. He loves to be held, will gladly curl up next to you, and previously slept in bed with his owner. He is very protective, loyal and devoted and will quickly form a strong bond with his family.
He is not fully housetrained and will need a patient, committed adopter to help him learn and succeed. He has some separation anxiety and will bark when left alone; therefore, a home where someone is home most of the time would be best for him. Because he enjoys chewing, he should be crated when unsupervised to keep him safe.
He is a loving, devoted companion who is ready for a fresh start with a family who will give him the time, structure, and affection he deserves. In return, he will reward you with endless love, loyalty, and companionship.
