If “10 out of 10, no notes” were a dog, it would be Creed. In just a few short days with his foster, it was crystal clear that Creed is a sweet, gentle, playful soul who effortlessly turns a house into a home. Creed leads with kindness and softness in everything he does—gentle really is the word that defines him best.
Creed knows his basics like sit, lay down, and paw, and he proudly puts those skills to use. He’s also happy to offer his own special services: helping you dig snow out around your car, enthusiastically ensuring you’re awake by laying right on top of you, and keeping spirits high with his playful charm. He appears to be fully potty trained, sailing through an entire weekend with zero accidents.
Playtime is one of Creed’s joys. He loves squeaky toys (especially popping the squeaker), enjoys a good game of tug-of-war—sometimes adding a tiny, playful growl to show how invested he is—and appreciates frozen snuffle mats when he’s in the mood for enrichment. Everything he does is thoughtful and soft, even when he’s having fun.
Creed will thrive in a home that understands him and is ready to set him up for success with patience, structure, and consistency. With gentle guidance and lots of love, he will blossom into an incredibly affectionate, joyful, and devoted companion.
If you’re looking for a dog who is kind, loving, playful, and truly special, Creed is ready to meet you—and your heart may never be the same.
If you are interested in adopting Creed, please visit the shelter during adoption hours.
