In Transformers, Optimus Prime is the supreme robot commander of the Autobots in their fight against the Decepticons. Our Optimus is no robot, but he’s more than ready to transform from shelter pup to family member! Optimus is a gentle, sensitive boy who needs a little bit of time to build confidence and trust. Once he does, he’s devoted for life- a gentle, calm dog who wants nothing more than to sit by your side and enjoy gentle affection. And treats- he loves those too and takes them politely and gently from your hand. Here’s what some of his volunteer friends have said: “Wow, Optimus is really opening up! He was a little nervous at first in his kennel, but then came and sat down next to me and was easy to leash up. He was a nice walker over to the play yard. Once in the play yard Optimus sniffed around a little bit but mostly wanted to be by my side getting gentle pets. He's a very sweet boy.” “Optimus is doing so well. He is a very nice walker on leash, sits for treats, and takes them gently.” “Optimus is doing very well. He loves neck and butt scratches, which can trigger a case of the zoomies. He is very treat motivated and playful.” Optimus shares his kennel with another PACC pup and has been independent and easygoing overall when meeting other dogs in playgroup. He’d like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to make sure it’s a good fit. Optimus would love to find a calm home where he can decompress from the stressful shelter and a family who will go at his pace while he settles in. In return, you get the best dog ever!!
