Story
Meet Ever, the sweet and loving four-year-old Pitty mix whose heart is as big as his smile. While he may need multiple visits for a slow introduction to new faces, once Ever feels safe, he becomes the epitome of a cuddly and fun-loving companion. Whether he's snuggled up on the couch or splashing around in a kiddy pool outdoors, Ever's tail wags uncontrollably around his favorite people, radiating happiness and affection. Despite his initial shyness, Ever gets along famously with other dogs, making him a wonderful companion for furry friends with patient introductions. He's not just charming; Ever is also quite the smarty-paws, knowing commands like sit, lay, wave, shake, and even roll over! Plus, he's crate trained, adding an extra layer of convenience to his already impressive repertoire. However, due to his initial timidness, Ever would thrive best in a home without children. With his gentle nature and ability to coexist with other animals, Ever is ready to bring warmth and companionship to his forever family. Come meet Ever today at the APL and discover the endless love he has to offer.
