Story

Found pup about a week ago, definitely came from an abusive home but has shown us nothing but love. The second he came home and got comfortable all he wanted was cuddles. He seems so grateful to be in a loving home. We would keep him in a heart beat if we didn't already have so many. He spent all day sitting in my husbands lap while he worked at his desk. At night he curls up right next you and lays his head on your chest. Hes certainly a lover:) Were training him with walks and trying to get him used to interacting with other dogs. We haven't pushed it to far yet because hes still pretty thin and we assume a little in defense mode. Were getting his shots up to date and taking him to the vet shortly so if you see this a week or so from now he should be up to date and potentially neutered. Please help us give this sweet boy and loving home and the life he deserves❤️ He has the kindest soul that is so grateful to be around someone who cares for him.
