Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Triton was rescued from OC Animal Care just in time and is now safe in a foster home, learning what it means to feel secure. He is a sweet, gentle, and easygoing dog who thrives in a calm environment. At home, he is potty trained, crate trained, and settles well into a routine. He can be shy at first and may get scared easily, but once he warms up, he becomes a loyal and loving companion. Triton does best in a quiet home and would do well with calm, similarly sized dogs. He already knows commands like sit, down, stay, come, stop, and leave it, and he continues to improve his leash walking skills every day. He bonded quickly with his foster, showing how deeply he can connect with his person. Triton is ready for a patient and kind adopter who will give him the time and space he needs to fully blossom. If you’re looking for a devoted, gentle companion, Triton could be your perfect match. Please reach out to meet him!

Story
Kimora is approximately 8 years old. He is filled with a lot of love and will cuddle anyone endlessly. He does not bark often and is kennel and house trained. Kimora lives with two other dogs and two toddlers. He is great with kids and is very patient with them. My wife and I feel guilty not being able to give him more time, because he still has energy and a lot of love to give. He does not have any medical issues and has never bitten or snapped at anyone. My kids are able to reach into his food bowl while he eats and he patiently waits for them to move. The kids feed him one kibble at a time on occasions. He loves to be out in nature and he loves to swim. He will swim for 2-3 hours if you let him. He is a quick learner. He got his rabies shot this year, is microchipped, and neutered. Looking for a loving family who enjoys cuddles, laughs, and entertainment.
