Optimus is a sensitive soul who takes a little time to build confidence and trust, but once he does, he is utterly devoted and calm, seeking out gentle affection and the simple joy of sitting by your side. Treats are a highlight for him, which he always takes with a gentle touch. Volunteers have noticed his progress as he opens up more each day. While initially a bit nervous in his kennel, Optimus warms up quickly, making leashing up and walks enjoyable for both. In the play yard, he prefers the company of his people, eager for pets and gratitude. Optimus loves neck and butt scratches, which sometimes trigger joyful zoomies. He’s treat-motivated, walks nicely on leash, and has shown to be playful and polite. Optimus shares his kennel with another dog and has been friendly and independent around other pups. He would like to meet any resident dogs before going home to ensure a smooth transition. A calm environment and a family willing to let him settle in at his own pace would be ideal. In return, you'll have a devoted and loving companion eager to bring joy to your life. Please consider giving Optimus the home he deserves! Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
