My story

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

 



If you’ve been casting your line for a loyal, goofy, and full-of-life best friend, look no further—Fish is the catch of the day! This happy-go-lucky pup is overflowing with energy, affection, and curiosity. He’s the kind of dog who wants to dive headfirst into everything—playtime, cuddle sessions, walks, and new adventures—and just watch him go here!

Life in the kennel has been rough seas for this sweet boy, and he’s more than ready to drop anchor in a forever home where he can relax, splash around in the joy of daily life, and let his silly personality shine.

Fish is looking for a dog-savvy adopter who can appreciate his enthusiastic spirit, and help him continue learning good manners through consistency and training. Once he trusts you, he’s all in—expect full-body wiggles, lap dives, and plenty of kisses. He can be a little sensitive with handling (especially at the vet or when putting on a harness), but patience and positive experiences help him warm up fast. Fish also loves having toys, walks, and activities that keep his big, bright mind busy.

If you’re ready to reel in a fun-loving companion who’ll fill your days with laughter and love, Fish is ready to swim straight into your heart and home!
