Here's what the humans have to say about me:
`Meet Vulcan, a sweet and soulful 2-year-old tripod who’s as gentle as they come. Fully house-trained with perfect manners, Vulcan has never had an accident indoors and patiently waits by the door—or gives a soft little whine—when it’s time to go outside. He doesn’t bark, even in new or exciting situations, making him an ideal companion for households with young children or anyone looking for a peaceful, low-noise pup. One little boy asked to pet him on a walk, and Vulcan calmly approached, wagging gently, happy to receive affection. His quiet, steady nature makes him a perfect match for families, first-time dog owners, or anyone who might be nervous around more boisterous dogs.
While Vulcan doesn’t yet know his name (he responds best to “puppy” or “who’s a good boy”), and he’s still learning basic commands, his eagerness to connect and please shines through every day. He’s a little wary of new spaces at first—when he first arrived, he stuck to the living room for two weeks before discovering the kitchen! Even now, he mostly sticks close to his people and only ventures into other rooms if they’re already there. This makes him great for homes with off-limits areas or families looking for a dog who won’t wander or get into things. His easygoing, go-with-the-flow personality makes him a gentle presence in any environment.
What really sets Vulcan apart is his deep emotional sensitivity. He’s an affectionate cuddlebug who loves being close to his humans, often curling up beside them or resting his head in a lap. He’s especially attuned to emotions—if someone is crying or upset, Vulcan will come running to comfort them, tail wagging and heart wide open. This resilient, loving boy has already overcome a lot, and he carries himself with a quiet strength and tenderness that’s impossible not to fall in love with. Vulcan is more than ready for a forever home filled with kindness, patience, and plenty of snuggles.`
