Meet Dave, a loyal and wonderfully spirited guy who is looking for a serene sanctuary to call home! 🏡 This lovely boy has spent time in a busy household with children aged 5 to 13, where he thrived with lots of love. ❤️ However, he found himself back at PAWS as his unpredictable moments with kiddos made things a bit tricky. It was a heart-wrenching decision for his previous family, but they want the very best for him, and so do we! Imagine a handsome pup who settles into routines like a pro. Dave absolutely LOVED doggie daycare, where he bonded with the staff and even learned their names! Whenever his family asked, “Do you want to go visit so-and-so?” his excitement was electrifying! ⚡️ This cutie has a sweet side, and once he finds his groove in a quieter, adult-only setting, there’s no doubt he’ll blossom into the lovebug he is meant to be. Dave has a few quirks that make him special. His palate? Let’s just say he’s a foodie with a preference for plain baked chicken, turkey cold cuts, and Blue Buffalo Blue Stix Chicken. 🐔🤤 While he loves hot dogs and cheese, those can upset his belly, so let's keep it gourmet! And for those stormy nights, he’s a bit of a fraidy-cat. His cozy nook in an upstairs closet with blankets is his very own "safe place"! 🛏️💖 Dave is smart, picking up basic commands like a champ—"sit," "down," "stay," and "come" are part of his repertoire, but he’s still polishing up his skills. With a solid treat reinforcement strategy, he can even shake a paw for a delicious reward! 🐾 Daily walks? Count him IN! Dave absolutely adores strutting his stuff, but needs a sturdy harness or martingale collar since he’s a strong boy who can get a tad reactive around strangers and other pets. But fear not! With high-value treats like baked chicken and a little patience, his sweet spirit shines through! 🌟 If you're an understanding adult or couple open to nurturing Dave's potential and guiding him through his fears, you just might find the best friendship ever. 👫💕 Together, you can help him transition to a home where he can thrive!
