🤎 Hi, I'm Changity! 🤎
I'm a 3-month-old Dutch Shepherd/American Bulldog mix with the softest heart you'll ever meet. If you believe the quiet ones have the biggest hearts, then I think we're going to get along just fine. 💛
When you first meet me, I'll probably be (ok I definitely will be) a little shy. New people and unfamiliar situations can feel overwhelming, so I appreciate being given the chance to move at my own pace. But once I realize you're someone I can trust, you'll see the real me: a sweet, affectionate cuddle bug who just wants to curl up beside you and NEVER leave your side... seriously. My favorite place in the world is wherever my person is. 🤍
I'm naturally calm, submissive, and incredibly loving. I get along beautifully with other dogs, and having a confident canine sibling would be a huge gift for me. Watching another dog helps me learn that new things aren't so scary, and it gives me the confidence to keep exploring.
Since I'm still just a puppy, I'm learning everything for the very first time. I'm already doing great with my crate, and every day I'm becoming a little braver than the day before. All I need is a patient family that's willing to celebrate the little victories with me.
I also have a few medical needs that are now very well managed. I've experienced a handful of seizure episodes in the past, but ever since starting Keppra 3x a day, I haven't had a single seizure. I'll need to stay on this medication long-term, and I also eat a prescription gastrointestinal diet to keep my tummy healthy. My routine is simple, and with consistent care, I'm thriving and enjoying life like every puppy should.
Because of my past/rough start to life (please ask for these details if interested in learning more), I'm very fearful of children and can also be nervous around men. At this time, I'm looking for an adult-only home that understands shy dogs and is committed to helping me continue building confidence through positive reinforcement. While I may make progress over time, my future family should be prepared to take introductions slowly and never rush me into situations where I don't feel safe.
My perfect home would include:
🤎 A calm, patient, adult-only home
🤎 A family willing to let me blossom at my own pace
🤎 Another friendly, confident dog to show me the ropes (a huge plus!)
🤎 Someone committed to keeping up with my medication and prescription diet
🤎 Lots of cozy naps, gentle encouragement, and unconditional love
A little note from my foster: "Changity is truly the sweetest little boy. He's gentle, loving, and once he trusts you, he'll become your most loyal companion and favorite cuddle buddy." 🥹
I've already overcome more in my first three months than most dogs experience in a lifetime. I don't need a perfect family; I just need one that believes in me.
If you're willing to be patient while I learn that the world is a safe place, I promise I'll spend the rest of my life showing you just how much that kindness meant to me. 🤎🐾
Changity Notice: I am prone to seizures occasionally but I have been seizure free for a month now! I am on kepra medication.
