My story

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

Meet Volkie!
Volkie is a 4-year-old Black Mouth Cur with a big heart and an even bigger personality. This handsome boy loves adventure just as much as he loves cuddles — whether it’s a walk by the river, a camping trip, or curling up on the couch as the little spoon, Volkie is happiest when he’s with his person.

He’s a smart pup who knows his commands in both English and German (and listens best to German!). Volkie is relatively low-energy day to day but plays hard when it’s time for fun. He loves tug-of-war and fetch, and his favorite toys are stuffed animals — especially ducks and octopuses — though he can’t resist removing all the stuffing. He’s a blanket-lover too, though it’s a supervised privilege since he sometimes decides they’re snacks.

A true fashionista, Volkie enjoys showing off his style in sweaters, puffers, and even cozy pajamas when it’s chilly. He’s also a talker — expressive, vocal, and full of opinions, especially when he’s feeling playful or wants attention.

Volkie is gentle with children and loves to show affection with kisses and “corn-cobbing.” He walks well on leash but can pull when he gets excited, so he’ll do best with someone who can confidently handle him. He should be kept leashed outdoors or in a fully fenced yard since he’s a bit of a runner and can’t resist chasing squirrels or birds.

When left home alone, Volkie is calm and content, but being away from home without his person can make him anxious — a calming treat and a busy toy like a frozen Kong help him settle.

Volkie is a loyal, loving companion who wants nothing more than time, attention, and a family to share his adventures with. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, slightly goofy best friend to fill your days with love (and a few giggles), Volkie is your boy.

My adoption fee of $50 includes up-to-date vaccinations, dewormer, and heartworm/flea prevention. Plus, a microchip that is already registered to you! What more could you ask for?
