My story

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

Meet Dane 🤍
Dane is a quiet little soul with a big heart, fresh from a rural shelter and ready to discover how good life can be. He starts out timid, but his curiosity (and love of snacks) helps his brave side shine through pretty quickly. Once he feels safe, Dane shows off just how sweet and gentle he really is. Don’t pass up on getting to see his playful side!

He’s calm by nature and very food-motivated, which makes him a joy to bond with. Dane is currently underweight, but he’s happily working on that with the help of Kongs, snuffle mats, and his favorite chews. When he gets excited, he lets out the cutest little whine—just enough to melt your heart.

Dane enjoys car rides, settles nicely, and would likely do well with friendly dog companions who can help boost his confidence. He’s the kind of dog who doesn’t rush—he takes his time, feels things out, and then gives you his trust fully. He enjoys sunbathing and rolling around in the grass.

If you’re looking for a gentle, brave boy who will blossom with patience, kindness, and a well-stocked treat pouch, Dane might be your perfect match. 🐾
