My story

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

Meet Angel!

Angel came to the shelter as an owner surrender. He is a friendly, affectionate, and sometimes playful dog who can be shy and cautious at first. He enjoys toys of all kinds-including balls, squeaky toys, chew toys, stuffed animals, and frisbees-and loves following his humans around the home. Angel is crate-trained, partially house-trained, and responds well to gentle guidance and treats.



My Ideal Home

Angel would do best in an adult-only home with a calm, predictable environment. He needs an experienced adopter who understands fearful or reactive dogs and can provide consistent, positive training. Daily exercise, interactive toys, and patience will help Angel feel safe and confident. He should be the only pet in the household.



Good with Kids?

No - Angel is best in a home without children under 13. He needs a calm environment and gentle handling.



Good with Other Pets?

No - Angel has shown reactivity toward other dogs and cats, lunging and barking when he sees them on walks. He should be the only pet in the home.



Leash Manners

Angel pulls strongly on the leash and can hard bark, lunge, or show teeth at other dogs and cats. He benefits from a front-clip harness, structured walks, and desensitization exercises. Calm, predictable walks with consistent reinforcement are important for his confidence.



Overall Health

Healthy overall.



Behavior Determination

Experienced Adopters - Angel requires a patient, knowledgeable home to manage his fear, leash reactivity, and sensitivity to handling.



Other Fun Facts

Angel is highly food-motivated, making training with treats very effective. He enjoys interactive play and can spend hours content in his crate. With slow introductions and consistent guidance, Angel can become a loyal, loving companion.
