Meet the one and only Chocolate, the sweetest little pup who will steal your heart in an instant! 🍫🐶 This charming boy journeyed all the way from Texas to Maine, and oh, what a transformation he has made! Arriving a bit unsure and shy, Chocolate has flourished into a playful bundle of joy, thanks to the incredible patience and love he's received from his foster family. In just a couple of weeks, he’s learned to sit, potty outside, and—most notably—how to embrace his puppyhood! With the playful energy of his canine companions guiding him, he’s gone from hiding timidly in the corner to joyfully barking and frolicking about! Can you imagine the sheer joy of seeing a pup like Chocolate come out of his shell? 🌟 Now, let’s talk about his needs—a calm and confident doggy friend in a routine-driven home would be just the ticket to help him continue blossoming and feeling secure. Chocolate adores squeaky toys, and he’s mastered crate training like a champ! While he does get a bit nervous in the car and will drool when anxious, he’s been practicing his car manners with delightful, positive outings like pup cup runs and visits to work. 🚗✨ He’s now brave enough to hop into the car and go for short trips—those happy rides are just about 15 minutes of fun before the drooling kicks in—those are the puppy quirks that make him all the more lovable! This gentle and loving soul is about four months old and identified as a Shepherd mix. A home where his human is often around would be ideal, and a little Shepherd experience could really help him thrive. 🌈 Currently, Chocolate is in foster care here in Maine, and although there have been several approved applications, his journey is still seeking the perfect match! If you feel that Chocolate might be the pup of your dreams, it’s time to take action! 🥳 Apply to adopt this marvelous boy *through the Buddy App,* where the magic really starts to happen!
