Meet Dustin (aka Dusty)! 🐾
Dusty is an elite-level cuddler whose life goal is to be as physically close to his humans as possible (if he could crawl under your skin, he would). He'll settle into your home instantly, and happily crawl into your lap for snuggles and pets anytime.
This sweet guy is also incredibly smart and eager to learn. In just a few days, Dusty picked up “sit,” “stay,” “touch,” and “go to your place,” showing how quickly he catches on and how responsive he is to his humans. He was a little wary of the elevator and stairwell to begin with, but after a few times of positive affirmation (and of course some treats), he struts into them without batting an eye. He enjoys walks and loves taking in all the sights, smells, and sounds of NYC, excitedly sniffing and exploring along the way. He does get excited around other dogs, small children, and especially pigeons, and may pull toward them, but with continued training he has lots of potential to polish his leash manners.
Dusty is also fully house-trained and excellent with his crate. He’ll happily amble into his crate on his own to take a nap and settled quickly when he was alone for a few hours. He’s also a fairly quiet pup, only letting out the occasional whine to express serious dissatisfaction. He doesn’t chew or destroy things, but he will politely paw at you if he thinks the petting has stopped too soon.
One of Dusty’s signature moves is wiggling his head under your hand so he can essentially pet himself. it’s as goofy as it sounds and irresistibly cute. With his snuggly nature, smarts, and gentle charm, Dusty is ready to be someone’s devoted best friend and professional cuddle companion.
