My story

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

Appa is an affectionate, playful boy who loves being part of the action and soaking up attention from his people. He lives indoors and is house-trained — when he needs to go outside, he’ll let you know by barking and heading to the door. He’s also crate trained and does well when left alone, happily entertaining himself with his toys (especially his beloved Lamb Chop toys!).

This fun-loving guy is active, friendly, and a little rambunctious, with a vocal personality that keeps things lively. Appa knows several commands including sit, down, off, come, okay, and quiet, and he enjoys learning and interacting with his humans.

Appa adores affection but appreciates a slow, gentle approach at first. Once he feels comfortable, he’s all about the cuddles and will happily melt into pets. He’s used to being on furniture, loves car rides, and truly enjoys spending time with his people.

Socially, Appa does well with women and other dogs, has been non-reactive to cats, and can be a bit skittish around men. With patience and kindness, he continues to gain confidence.

If you’re looking for a loyal, playful companion who will keep you laughing, talking, and cuddling, Appa might just be your perfect match!
