Meet Ivan Your Loyal, Lean-Into-You Best Friend
Ivan is a stunning ~3-year-old, 65 lb sweetheart who we believe is a Lab / Carolina Dog / Pittie mix — but whatever his breed blend may be, his heart is 100% devoted companion.
This handsome boy is fully ready for his forever home:
Housetrained
Cratetrained
Neutered
Up to date on vaccines
Why You’ll Love Ivan
Ivan LOVES people. Truly. He lives for head scratches, gentle pets, and simply being near his human. He has this adorable way of leaning into you — somehow both giving and asking for love at the same time. It’s his signature move, and it will absolutely melt you.
When you’re home, he’s happiest by your side — whether you’re cooking, gardening, reading, working, watching TV, or soaking up the sun. If you have a sectional couch, even better! Ivan claims the chaise while you take the main seat. Fair is fair.
Favorite Things
Indoor: Bones, bones, and more bones! He also enjoys a good Kong and has recently elevated his napping game to professional levels.
Outdoor: Zoomies in the yard and “helping” with gardening duties.
Home Requirements
Ivan would like to be your one and only pet — no other dogs, and definitely no cats (he thinks cats are snacks, and we disagree with that life choice).
Because of his size and love of outdoor zoomies, Ivan needs:
A single-family home
A fenced-in yard or ample space to run
Older kids are welcome! Ivan can get excited and may jump when he’s happy, so he’s best suited for a home without very young children. He’s currently learning that “sit calmly = happy humans + treatos,” and he’s making progress. Continued training will help him shine.
Bonus: Ivan comes with two professional training sessions to help set him and his new family up for success!
Ivan is a boy with a heart of gold who will love you beyond measure. He deserves a patient, loving human who will give him structure, guidance, head kisses (his favorite), and all the affection he so freely gives in return.
If you’re ready for a loyal shadow, a couch companion, and a best friend who leans in close, Ivan is ready for you.
Apply today through Paws Across Pittsburgh (KL 16182) and give this sweet boy the forever home he’s been waiting for.
