About Me
Hi, I’m Anthony — professional cuddler, full-time shadow, part-time neighborhood watch, and your future best friend.
I’ll be honest right away: I don’t really believe in “personal space.” If you’re sitting down, I’d like to be touching you. If you’re walking around, I’ll be following you. If you’re heading out on an adventure, I’m already ready to go. I’m learning that being a few feet away from my human is survivable, but I definitely prefer the “together at all times” lifestyle.
I’m currently living with multiple small dogs and doing well with them. I seem to especially like female dogs and calmer older male dogs. Even though I enjoy other pups, humans are really my favorite thing in the world. I’m looking for someone I can truly bond with — your loyal sidekick, road trip buddy, tiny-house roommate, and emotional support shadow all rolled into one.
My day usually starts with me hurrying outside for my potty break the second I wake up. I’m leash trained and mostly potty trained, though I’m still polishing up my indoor manners. I’ve done some marking inside before, but I’m learning that humans apparently don’t appreciate surprise decorating. Since I’m newly neutered, everyone expects that to keep improving as my hormones settle down. I’m also okay with wearing a belly band or using a potty pad if my new family prefers.
When my people leave for work, I may sing a short song about how much I’ll miss them. After that, I usually redirect myself to snacks, toys, naps, or hanging out with the other dogs until everyone comes home. Then it’s straight back outside for another potty break before I resume my very important duties of following the humans around the house.
I’d describe my energy level as moderate. I enjoy daily activity and adventures, but I’m equally happy winding down with some quiet evening cuddle time before bed. Chew toys are one of my favorite things, and I’ll never say no to treats — especially baby carrots, apple slices, or dog-friendly peanut butter.
I should probably mention my funniest habit: sometimes I pass gas, let out a dramatic little sigh, and then act completely shocked that such a smell could possibly exist. I’m innocent until proven guilty.
I also take my guard dog responsibilities seriously. I’ll alert you if I hear a new sound, if someone is approaching, or if you dare come home without immediately greeting me properly. Because I can be vocal when excited, I’m unfortunately not a great fit for apartments or homes with shared walls right now.
Before rescue, I came from a local impound where I arrived underweight and badly matted. A fresh shave and regular meals helped me feel like myself again, and now my weight is healthy and stable.
At the end of the day, I’m happiest when I’m simply with my person. Whether it’s a house, a camper van, a tiny home, or a couch with enough room for two, I’m ready to be your loyal little wingman through all of life’s adventures.
