Donner, named for one of Santa’s swift reindeer, is a sweet little pup with an incredibly gentle heart. He has the softest fur, perfect for cuddles, and a spirit as warm as a holiday hearth. While he possesses the festive name of a reindeer, he’s not quite ready to dash into someone`s arms. He’s a little shy at first, often hanging back to observe the world with curious eyes. He prefers to take his time and get to know new friends. But don`t let his initial reservations fool you—he has a deep desire for connection. If you approach him gently and offer a hand, Donner will reward your patience by gently leaning his head against you. He may be quiet, but Donner is a little love waiting for someone to offer a steady, loving home. Call Helping Paws to meet Donner!
