Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Say hello to Shahir, the most playful and lovable pup you'll ever meet! This young adventurer is navigating the exciting seas of puppyhood in his foster home, and he's ready to drop anchor and find his forever crew.
Shahir is a social butterfly with other dogs, playing happily with his foster siblings, a 70 lbs male pit bull and a 50 lbs female pit bull. Whether they're exploring the yard or navigating the living room, he's always up for a game of tag or a good wrestle. While he hasn't met many kids yet, his friendly nature suggests he'd be great with older children. Shahir also hasn't encountered any feline friends yet, but with his sweet demeanor, he might get along with a cat sibling too.
When the humans are away, Shahir does just fine. He naps in his crate, saving energy for the next adventure. His house training is coming along nicely-he's got the hang of going #2 outside and is pretty good with #1 too. A quick learner, he just needs a bit more time to perfect his routine.
A perfect day for Shahir starts with a yard expedition, where he sniffs every corner and chases his foster siblings. After a hearty play session, he's ready for a power nap. Shahir loves cuddles and belly rubs, especially ear scratches. His mini zoomies, floppy ears, and cuddly nature will make you smile.
Shahir is versatile and would fit well in many types of homes. He'd love a yard to play in and big dog siblings to keep him company. He's still teething and learning what to chew, so a home with older kids or adults would be ideal. Shahir rarely barks or whines and is an easy, delightful addition to any home.
