"I'm a sweet, energetic dog, born around December 2021. My first year was tough, but thankfully, my puppies were rescued. I'm a little shy at first, likely because of my early experiences, but I warm up quickly. I love people and enjoy being petted, just please approach me gently. I'm not aggressive at all, just a bit cautious. I have lots of love and loyalty to offer! I do well with calm, respectful kids, but I'd thrive in a home with adults or older, gentle children, where I can feel secure. A yard is a must for my energy, but I need to be included – I don't want to be left alone outside. I'm not an escape artist; I just crave companionship. I'm a big cuddler and love being by my person's side, even in public. After 2.5 years at the shelter, everyone agrees it's my turn to find my forever home. Could you be the loving family I've been waiting for?"
