My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Top Hat has a heart as big as his paws and a spirit that refuses to quit. After a rough start, he’s shown just how resilient, sweet, and eager for connection he truly is. He’s bright, alert, and genuinely excited about life (especially when it involves people!)
In the home, Top Hat is affectionate, playful, and loves being close to his humans. He greets new people with enthusiasm and thrives on companionship. He is crate trained, and does well when left alone (even free-roaming for a few hours).
Top Hat enjoys walks and is working on his leash skills, but his love for being out and about already shines through. He’s playful without being destructive and enjoys a wide variety of toys. He’s recently learned how to play fetch with a rope and is just starting to enjoy tug-of-war.
This sweet, resilient boy would do best in an adoptive home that can offer a little extra patience and structure as he continues building confidence. In return, you’ll be rewarded with a loyal, affectionate companion who’s ready to leave his rough start behind and begin his next chapter surrounded by love.
