Meet Travis, a delightful and slightly shy boy who is truly a diamond in the rough! 🌟 This sweet soul began his journey with us last Spring, having come from a challenging situation in Kentucky. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and Travis is living proof! With a mix of possibly German Shepherd and Collie in his bloodline, he was a mere 15 lbs when he arrived, malnourished and heartbroken. Now, look at him! A healthy 45 lbs and celebrating his first birthday! 🎉 Despite some lingering mobility issues from his earlier hardships, Travis is a spirited gentleman who enjoys life. He’s inquisitive and loves to explore, always eager to share a cuddle! With a gentle disposition, he takes his time warming up to new friends, but once he does, he shines like the star he is! 🌈 Travis is currently living with a few dog buddies and even some feline friends. Though he’s getting used to the hustle and bustle, he would blossom in a tranquil adult home where he can truly be pampered. Just imagine the bonding moments you could share with this lovable guy! 🥰 He adores being the center of attention and, oh boy, keep the toys close because he’ll want them all to himself! 🎾 While he's housebroken and crate trained, he does have a penchant for chatting back—classic Shepherd style! His social skills are improving, but he’d thrive in an environment where someone experienced with large breeds, especially Shepherds, can guide him to be the best boy he can be. ❤️ If you’re ready to give your heart to a perfectly imperfect companion, Travis might be just the pup for you! There’s a whole lot of love waiting—could you be the family he’s been dreaming of? **Foster-to-Adopt Requirements:** • Living within 80 miles of Adams, NY. • Experience with current pets and annual vet checks. • Ability for follow-up at our vet's office if needed. • A home with dogs and cats is okay, but a meet and greet is wise. • Families with children over 12 years should be just fine! • Willingness to have family members meet Travis before adoption is necessary. • Must have time for training and socializing—a nurturing environment is vital! • A fenced yard would be a cherry on top but isn’t a deal-breaker. An adoption donation of **$450** will apply, but don’t worry—fostering comes with zero fees! Travis is all set with his vet checks, vaccines, deworming, and has been neutered. So, are you ready to add a little sunshine to your life? Don't forget to **apply through the Buddy App** to welcome Travis into your heart and home!
