Meet Cruze, the dashing 3-year-old, 65 LB, neutered male mixed breed bursting with personality and charm! 🌟 This handsome boy found himself at our shelter when his family could no longer care for him, but now it’s time for him to find his forever home! Cruze is an energetic whirlwind who thrives in the great outdoors! 🌳🌞 Whether it's long walks, thrilling car rides, or simply basking in the sun, this delightful pup is always up for an adventure with his human family. He’s convinced he’s still a pup at heart, and let me tell you, he’s a passionate snuggler who would much rather cozy up next to you than curl up by himself. Just imagine having this big, lovable goofball at your side, ready to offer his heart and a barrel of laughs! ❤️ Now, let’s talk about the little quirks that make Cruze so special! 🌈 He can get carried away with excitement and may jump on folks he meets (who can blame him for wanting to share his joy?), so some training would absolutely do wonders for him. He knows a few basic commands like sit and lie down, but let’s channel that puppy energy into a fun obedience course! Remember, folks, a tired boy is a happy boy! 😄 Since Cruze is a strong lad, it’s highly recommended to use heavy canvas leashes—no stretchy flexi leads for this hunky guy! A secure martingale collar or harness is a must. A fenced backyard where he can romp around, along with daily walks and play sessions, would make his tail wag furiously! 🐕 Cruze has a social butterfly side, too! 🦋 According to his previous family, he plays well with other dogs, so if you have a resident pup, a meet and greet at the shelter is the perfect way to ensure they hit it off. When it comes to cats, he’s got a playful spirit but will need a savvy feline friend to keep up with his zeal. Slow introductions are the name of the game here! 🐾 Just be cautious, as Cruze’s size and enthusiasm might be a bit much for young ones, so kids over the age of 6 would be a great fit. A little heads up: Cruze has had a tough time being crated in the past, so he’s not fond of small, enclosed spaces. He gets anxious when confined but, oh boy, is he a chewer! So, make sure to keep any tempting items out of reach. Cruze is truly a big, goofy lug who’s ready to bring joy and love into someone’s life. If you’re ready for laughter, love, and a new best friend, make sure to *apply through the Buddy App* to adopt this wonderful boy! 🍀💖
