Meet Homer - Your Gentle, Goofy, Squirrel-Scouting Sidekick. Homer is a 5yo lovable gentleman who's as sweet as he is playful. He's shown an impressive ability to keep his kennel clean, which may mean he's house-trained - a huge bonus for his future family!
On walks, Homer pulls just a little, but he's otherwise a polite companion with no reactivity and a calm, steady presence. He knows how to sit, takes his treats very gently, and loves nothing more than scouting for squirrels like the dedicated nature enthusiast he is.
Ask him if he wants to go for a walk, and you'll see his adorable excited side - he jumps with joy and wiggles with enthusiasm! But the moment he's out the door, Homer shifts into polite mode, showing that while he's full of energy, he still walks beautifully on leash.
In playgroups, Homer has spent time with several friendly females and has developed a charming strategy: he likes to play coy and let the ladies coax him into fun. Once invited, he's all in - bouncing, chasing, and happily engaging. He can be mildly hormone-driven, but he responds well to corrections and adjusts easily. Between play sessions, Homer enjoys taking "TV timeouts" to soak up some human love and butt scritchies, which he absolutely adores.
Homer is a wonderful blend of mellow, polite, playful, and affectionate. If you're looking for a loyal, gentle boy who brings joy, laughter, and plenty of tail wags, Homer is ready to join your family. Come meet this charming guy - he's waiting to be your new best friend!
If you're interested in learning more about him, please reach out to our volunteer matchmakers at wcac.matchmaker@gmail.com with the subject line "Homer, 264770".
He is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and will be neutered prior to going home. If you have cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.
