Story
Meet Dumpling!Dumpling is a spirited, high-energy pup with a whole lot of personality packed into one adorable package! This playful guy is always ready for action—whether it’s zooming around the yard, chasing toys, or exploring the world by your side. He thrives in an active home that can keep both his body and mind busy.While Dumpling has a big zest for life, he can be a little unsure when meeting new people or navigating unfamiliar environments. Because of this, he’ll do best with a patient and understanding adopter who can give him the time and space he needs to build confidence at his own pace. Once he feels safe, his fun-loving and affectionate nature really begins to shine.Dumpling also has a strong prey drive, so he’ll need a home that can manage this appropriately—no small animals for this guy, please! Ongoing training and structure will help him succeed, and he’s a great candidate for someone who enjoys working with their dog and watching them grow.If you’re looking for an active, rewarding companion and are ready to help a sensitive soul blossom, Dumpling might just be your perfect match.IN-SHELTER NOTES & IDEAL HOMESIZE:44 lbs.HOME TYPE:No shared walls - Dumpling can be vocal CHILDREN:Yes - Older Dog savvy children would be bestCATS & SMALL ANIMALS:No - Dumpling has shown a high prey driveOTHER DOGS:No - Dumpling can be dog selective ACTIVITY/ENERGY LEVEL:High; will need a lot of daily exercise, enrichment and mental stimulation.TRAINING REQUIREMENTS/NEEDS:Three in-person training sessions to work on socialization, manners, basic trainingFor more information on any behaviours stated above, please check out our behaviour fact sheet: https://kwsphumane.ca/BehavioursandDefinitionsAt HSKWSP we do not assign our dogs or cats with a breed as we cannot guarantee the specific breed that they are.
