🌟 Meet Stone! 🌟 If you're seeking a laid-back couch potato, it's time to scroll right on past. But if you’re on the hunt for a vibrant, joy-spreading, adventure-seeking best friend, then Stone is your guy! 🐾 This handsome pup, approximately a year old, is a mix of pointer and pit, bursting with nearly limitless energy and love for everyone he encounters. By the way, everyone? That's not just humans! 🐶 He was discovered tied to a tree, deprived of food and water, yet this resilient heart shines like the sun with his boundless joy and zest for life. Talk about a comeback story! Imagine a morning where he leaps out of bed, tail wagging, ready to embrace the day with grand outdoor escapades. Whether you're hitting the trails, going for a run, or simply enjoying a playful romp in the park, Stone is right there with you, eager to explore! He's currently mastering his leash skills, though he's fantastic off-leash; his foster family has him practicing in their idyllic farm setting. This delightful boy is built for joy and knows commands like sit, down, and place. Just don’t be surprised if he surprises you — this “dumb jock” also figured out how to open doors all by himself! 😅 Stone is a social butterfly, not just with people but also with his furry pals! 🐕💕 He’s met dogs of all sizes, cats, chickens, pigs, and even horses — and has amazed everyone with his friendly demeanor and zero prey drive. Wouldn't it be perfect for him to have another playful dog or an active family that loves adventure just as much as he does? Just a few important tidbits to keep in mind: Though Stone is a big, happy puppy, his energetic spirit means he can be a bit mouthy during playtime, so he's probably not the best fit for families with toddlers right now. But, oh, this delightful boy responds wonderfully to redirection and enjoys training, so having an experienced hand will work wonders! He’s a little timid around loud noises, so a quiet home might be his best sanctuary until he settles in; the right confident dog or patient owner could help him flourish even more. And now for the treasures within: - A sweet, affectionate soul who adores being with his humans 🤗 - No aggression or resource guarding – it’s all about sharing love! 💖 - Crate-trained and hits snooze like a pro! - Exceptionally social with dogs and people alike 🎉 - A budding water lover – he’s already taken a leap into every chilly body of water he’s spotted! 🏊‍♂️ - Spectacularly handsome (really, just look at that face!). - Always ready to hop in the car for a new adventure! - An eager learner with a love for treats of all kinds, from apples to bok choy! 🍎🥬 Stone is currently being fostered in Richmond, VA, and he’s up to date on vaccinations, neutered, and ready for his forever home! His adoption fee is $375, which supports his care while in his loving foster environment. 💼 To bring Stone home and provide him the loving family he deserves, don’t wait! *Apply to adopt Stone through the Buddy App today!* Remember, sending a Petfinder inquiry is not the same as an application — a completed adoption application is required to move forward!
