My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I'm Mark:

Young, single, male with severe anxiety issues, looking for someone wanting a big, soft-hearted companion to chill with. I will pretty much be your shadow once I find you and I will make you happy to call me your own. I will contribute the following in exchange for a place to call home:

I will bring you joy every time you give me a treat. (I take medicine every day for anxiety)

I will lick the plates and bowls clean so you don’t have to spend so much time doing dishes. I promise they will be spotless.

I will let you know when a person comes into our yard, knocks on the door; or even if they just happen to walk by our house and look at us, I mean you never know what they might be thinking.

In return I would like a secure place to sleep - with you is my favorite place. I also really feel good on the couch or the big chair. A bowl of water and a bowl for food. I will need a promise to take me for walks and a fenced yard I can run around in. I also loved the dog park I went to. It was great fun!

Cats? I don’t really care
Chickens? They look fun but not worth chasing
Children? I absolutely love the two littles that I live with now. One is 7 and one is 5. They play with me and it is so fun.
Other dogs? It will take me a while to feel like they like me, but then we will be good buddies.

This is the most important part - it will take me longer than usual to be comfortable with you. I will be very shy until I find my person. This 'person' is the one who takes the time to know me and read my nervous signals. This person will know that I get scared very easily and will take extra steps to get around the scary things.

I really want to find my forever person. Please give me a chance to be the best furry pal you have ever known!
