My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Pumbaa is a silly little man that loves to play outside. He enjoys ear scratches and lounging around his hoomans. His previous family consisted of 3 adults and 6 children of various ages. They noted that he is a good loyal dog and knows how to protect his pack. He lived in an apartment/condo situation that had access to a yard. He's been known to avoid other dogs and cats inside the home. From his previous notes, observation with his previous family and foster, we believe he has potential to be properly introduced to and eventually live with children, other mellow and calm pets.

Our shy man prefers a calm environment and doesn't like sudden and loud changes around him. He has crate experience in his previous home. Pumbaa loves playing with squeaky toys (lamb chops) and trading sits for treats. He was used to 3 walks a day and is considered a medium energy dog. He is a playgroup rockstar here at APA! and has doggie pals. Talk to a matchmaker today to meet this polite gentleman.
