Click apply to start the adoption process. Meet sweet Levi! This gentle soul was rescued from a tough situation, found in the desert underweight with part of his tail missing, yet he greeted his rescuers with pure affection and soulful eyes. He immediately bonded with his saviors, curling up quietly for the journey to safety, grateful for a second chance. Levi is a quiet companion who rarely barks and has a naturally soft, calm temperament. Though a bit shy and fearful at first, usually needing 3 to 7 days to settle in, he quickly shows his loving nature once he feels safe. He takes treats delicately and is crate trained, though he may need a little patience adjusting to a new environment. Levi is also trained to use a doggy door and enjoys gentle play with both pups and cats. He gets along with outdoor tortoises and ignores cats and other dogs peacefully. While it may take a couple of days before he feels comfortable enough for playful behavior like zoomies, he’s quick to relax next to new friends. Levi has a beautiful short, shiny gray-blue coat and looks at the world with loving, hopeful eyes. Despite his rough start, he is ready to be part of a caring family. He will thrive in a home willing to offer him patience, especially during his early months as he learns to trust and gain confidence. Give this well-mannered boy a chance to be by your side and let him show just how loyal and affectionate he can be. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
