In the shelter’s words

Hi, I’m a sensitive guy who takes a little time to warm up. Shelter life can be pretty overwhelming for me, so you may not see my full personality right away. Once I feel safe and comfortable, I’m a sweet companion who enjoys having my own space and taking things at my own pace. I’m looking for an active, patient home where I can spend lots of time outdoors, explore, and enjoy life away from the hustle and bustle of a shelter. I can meet and coexist with other dogs, but I’m happiest doing my own thing and don’t necessarily need a canine best friend. If you’re willing to give me some time, patience, and space to settle in, I think we could become great friends. I may not be the dog who runs up to everyone right away but give me a chance, and you might discover a really special companion.
