Story
-Personality: Gentle, mellow, sensitive & curious-Dog-friendly: Yes — he loves other dogs!-Let’s you see take the lead in walks, very compliant-Potty trained-Crate trained, but can be an escape artist when left alone during the day. Prefers crates that he can see out of (wire) with a bed and blanket. -Friendly with children, might prefer older children that can respect his space-Very food motivated, great for positive reinforcement, but make sure all other food is out of reach
This sweet doodle mix is a gentle, sensitive soul who is learning that people can be safe and kind. He can be scared and nervous in new situations, but even when he’s unsure, he still wants to be part of what’s happening. Rather than hiding away, he prefers to be in the same room with everyone, quietly watching with curiosity.
He absolutely loves other dogs. He quickly bonded with our fellow doodle mix and follows her everywhere, looking to her for companionship and confidence. A friendly, confident dog in his future home could be a wonderful role model for him.
With people, he needs a little patience. It took him a day or two before he felt comfortable approaching to sniff my hand, and he’s already beginning to occasionally come over on his own for pets. Every small step feels like his way of saying, “I think I can trust you.”
He’s not a dog who will immediately run up to strangers asking to play. Instead, he’ll observe from a comfortable distance and gradually work up the courage to interact. He has shown no aggression and has a naturally mellow demeanor. When he becomes overwhelmed, his response is to shut down rather than act out, so having a safe, quiet space where he can decompress is important.
His ideal home
He would thrive with someone who understands that trust doesn’t have to happen overnight. He needs a home willing to give him time, patience, consistency, and space, allowing him to approach people at his own pace rather than pushing interactions.
A home with a friendly, confident dog could be especially wonderful for him. He clearly finds comfort and happiness in canine companionship and seems to learn from watching another dog navigate the world.
He’s still showing us who he is. Underneath the nervousness is a sweet, curious young dog who wants connection — he’s just figuring out how to be brave enough to ask for it.
For the right person or family, watching his confidence grow and earning his trust is going to be incredibly rewarding.
