My story

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

Dear Diary,

Today I have been thinking a lot about toys and treats. Well, I guess I think about both a lot because I love toys, and I love treats. My human friends keep saying that I am treat-motivated. What dog isn’t, after all? A little known secret though, did they also say that I’m super intelligent? Ha!

I've also been thinking about how much fun I had at the greenbelt with my volunteer friend; I had many treats, and there were so many different things to explore and sniff on. I would really love more greenbelt time, more treats (of course), and more sniffs. I like spending my time with my trusted humans.

I've also been dreaming about a home with a foster or adoptive family. I would love that. Then, I can spend time away from the shelter. I really wish to be the only dog. I also would want my crate there, as I like my crate. I was also thinking about how I would be a great roommate, and then I could have my own jar of treats. I can show off how big of a cuddly bear I am. Could you be the family I’ve been dreaming of? Fostering or adopting me would fill our days with love, sniffs, and treats—apply today to become my forever friend!
