This lovable goofball is ready to find his forever family—and he’s bringing plenty of charm, enthusiasm, and full-body wiggles with him! Irwin has grown into a big, happy dog with a very puppy-like heart. He has gained a little extra weight and will benefit from a family committed to regular exercise, a healthy routine, and helping him feel his best.
Irwin has lived with kids before and truly adores them—but because he has zero concept of personal space, he is not toddler approved. His excitement and enthusiasm can be a bit much for little ones, so a home with older, dog-savvy kids who can handle a big, affectionate presence would be ideal. As always, a family meet-and-greet is encouraged.
On walks, Irwin is thrilled to meet other dogs and greets them with his signature joyful energy. He’ll need a family dedicated to training, especially when it comes to polishing up his leash skills and helping him channel that excitement appropriately. He has not lived with other dogs or cats, so slow, thoughtful introductions will be important.
Irwin loves his crate and does well when left alone—especially since his playful curiosity can lead to mischief if he’s unsupervised. He’s also a huge toy enthusiast: if it squeaks, bounces, or can be proudly carried around, it’s an instant favorite. He rides nicely in the car and is always ready for adventures, new places, and endless sniffing opportunities.
Whether through walks, training outings, friends’ dogs, or other structured activities, Irwin thrives when he has positive outlets for his energy.
If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate, adventure-ready companion—and are ready to put in the training time—Irwin might just be your perfect match. Bring the whole family (older kids included!) for a meet-and-greet and see if this happy guy is the one for you.
