About Renan

Renan is a 6-year-old Maltese mix with a gentle personality and a longing to find his faithful human. Weighing in as a medium-sized dog, he thrives in calm, predictable environments where he can stick to his routines. Renan doesn’t want the chaos of young kids or other pets; he’s happiest as the only dog in a quiet, adult household. He forms strong bonds once he feels understood and safe. He loves a leisurely stroll and has been working steadily on his leash manners. House training is still in progress, but he’s making headway, especially with a patient person and a consistent schedule. Give him access to a yard, and he’ll happily wander, stretch, and enjoy a bit of fresh air—or settle down with his favorite Bene Bone when he wants to relax. Renan isn’t usually up for constant cuddles but absolutely enjoys affection on his own terms. If you let him settle in at his pace and show him kindness, you’ll discover a truly loyal companion. He’s neutered, vaccinated, and ready to move in with someone who gets him. Renan was born under the sign of Gemini, so don’t be surprised if you catch a playful or curious streak from time to time. Ready for someone to see him for who he is, Renan is eager to start his next chapter. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
