In the shelter’s words

(DOB 9/02/2021) This adorable little sweetheart may be a little shy when you first meet him, but give him a little time to get to know you and—watch out! His playful, silly, affectionate personality comes shining through. He is crazy about other dogs and desperately wants to play! A young, playful canine companion is a must for this boy—not only will he have a built-in best friend, but having another dog around will help boost his confidence. He’s also good with cats, although he does have one tiny problem: if a cat runs, the chase is ON! He’s great with kids, too, and once he knows his people, he loves being part of the family.This is one high-octane little guy! He needs a securely fenced yard where he can run, zoom, wrestle with his canine buddy, and burn off some of that puppy energy. And when he’s not busy playing, he LOVES heading out for a walk with his human. Adventure? Count him in!He’s still learning the ropes when it comes to crate, leash, and house training, so he’ll need a family willing to be patient, consistent, and celebrate those little victories along the way.And then there’s his other special talent: escape artist extraordinaire. He’s also a professional door dasher, so his family will need to be extra careful about doors, gates, and keeping this little Houdini safely contained.He needs a home where someone is home more often than away—or where he can tag along and be part of the fun. He doesn’t want to spend his days waiting for his people to come home. He wants to be where the action is!If you’re looking for a playful, energetic, dog-loving sidekick who will keep you moving, make you laugh, and eventually become your devoted little shadow, this sweetheart might just be your guy. Give him a fun-loving canine friend, a secure place to run, plenty of time with his people, and a little patience—and he’ll be ready to show you what a wonderful companion he can be.Could you be the family he’s been waiting for?As part of Milkshake’s $300 adoption fee, he is neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
