Meet Declan, a delightful 1.5-year-old hound mix who’s full of surprises! 🎉 Initially a bit shy, this lovable boy takes his time to warm up, but once he feels comfortable, prepare for a wave of playfulness and goofiness that'll leave you in stitches! 😂🐾 Declan thrives best in a home with other furry friends—Avery and Cookie can attest to his joyful spirit! 🐶❤️ With their companionship, he begins to blossom, building confidence and showing his affectionate nature. What a heartwarming journey of love it is to see him go from reserved to the life of the party! Declan is neutered, de-wormed, and current on his vaccinations—talk about a ready-to-adopt package! He has also started monthly flea and tick preventatives for his health and happiness. Now, here’s something important to keep in mind: Animal Alliance has specific guidelines for adopting adult dogs like Declan. Unfortunately, homes with children under 9 years old are not currently an option for him. They ensure the safety of both kids and their dogs, which is simply a noble cause! If there are youngsters aged 4 and older, puppies under 9 months can find their forever homes together, but families with children 3 years and younger, or expectant parents, will need to explore other options. Safety first! 🚨 Remember, Declan is in a foster care network where compassionate volunteers provide loving homes, making each pet's journey unique before they meet their perfect match. If this charming boy has stolen a piece of your heart, don’t hesitate—apply through the Buddy App! Find your new best friend today! 🐕❤️
