Meet Pride, a sensitive, middle-aged gentleman who is looking for his forever home! This handsome soul has been patiently waiting since June 2025 for a calm, committed adult household where he can truly feel safe and understood. 🌟 Once this gentle boy settles in, he blossoms into a loyal companion, filling your days with affection and joy. Whether it’s cuddling up next to you or snoozing contently after a long walk, Pride has a heart as big as his bark! 🐾❤️ In his foster homes, he’s not just been a great companion; he’s been potty trained, crate trained, and the ultimate car buddy. He enjoys playing with toys, exploring the yard, and winding down after his adventures. But let's be real—Pride can be a bit of a nervous nelly in new situations! 🥺 Pour all the love and patience you have into him, and you’ll see that big heart shine. He does best when folks move slowly and respect his boundaries, especially since he has some handling sensitivities. Sudden touches? Let’s save those for later! 🛑 Due to his unique personality, Pride is looking for an adult-only home (18+), without kids, where he can have the space he needs to decompress and warm up at his own pace. Though he might not win any social butterfly contests, he gets along just fine with calm canine companions and has coexisted well at the shelter. 🙌🏼 Pride is the underdog looking for a patient, steady soul that can appreciate his quirks and help him shine! Once he feels secure, he’ll reward you with sweetness, playfulness, and an unbreakable bond. If you’re ready to give this tender-hearted boy the love he truly deserves, he’s ready to come home with you! 🏡💞 Pawsome news: All adoptable pets are spayed/neutered (or scheduled), vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to go home today!
