About Pillsbury

Click apply to start the adoption process. Pillsbury is a truly unique pup with a charming presence, thanks to his soft brown eyes and his notably big noggin. He’s looking for a patient adopter who understands his need for time and space when meeting new people, especially men with hats, as unfamiliar faces can make him a little standoffish at first. Allowing him the opportunity to approach at his own pace is key—once he’s comfortable, you’ll discover a loving and affectionate companion who’s all about giving hugs (which happen to be his specialty). Pillsbury is quite talented, already knowing commands like sit, wait, and of course, hug. Despite his initial shyness, he warms up swiftly and shows a playful, endearing side. His time at his favorite boarding clinic is a testament to his affectionate nature, often running around greeting each staff member with enthusiastic hugs, making everyone smile. Pillsbury is truly a one-of-a-kind dog waiting for the right person to share his affection and goofiness with. Pillsbury was born on March 17, so he’s a Pisces—a sun sign known for being gentle and devoted. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
