Eugene is a 1-year-old, 69-pound pup with a big heart and a gentle soul. He’s a sweet, affectionate boy who loves leaning in for cuddles and sitting at your feet once he has a moment to settle in. While the shelter environment can make him a little nervous—especially around loud sounds or sudden movements—Eugene blossoms with gentle handling and calm reassurance. He walks well on leash with a bit of encouragement and has enjoyed playful, positive time in dog playgroup, often gaining confidence from being around other dogs. In the play yard, he’s all about love—hopping up for hugs, giving kisses, and quietly soaking up attention. Likely house-trained and very people-focused, Eugene is ready for a home where he can feel safe, loved, and free to show his soft, goofy side.
