🌟Introducing the magnificent Whittaker! This dashing boy has weathered too many storms in his short life, but he’s ready to embrace the sunshine of a forever family who’ll cherish him for the remarkable soul he is. 🐾 If you’re thinking about adding him to your family, please remember that commitment is key! His next home must truly be a *happily ever after*. Now, let’s get real! Whittaker has a few little quirks and preferences that his future family should consider: - A securely fenced yard is a must—Whittaker loves to romp! 🐕 - Another dog in the home is essential (but let’s leave the fragile seniors and kittens at home this time!). - His relationship status with cats? 🤷‍♂️ Let's call it 'unknown,' so it's best to keep them out of the picture. - If there are kiddos around, they should be respectful and not too little; he’s a big boy (about 65 pounds of love)! And let’s pause those baby plans for a while until Whittaker settles in. 🏠 Whittaker is around two years old and he’s really got it together: he’s crate trained, housebroken, and walks like a gentleman on a leash. He even rides beautifully in the car! 🚗✨ His affectionate nature shines brighter when he's surrounded by his dog pack in his current foster home, and he’s thriving under the structure and support. But let’s be real—large dogs bring big responsibilities! Whittaker needs a home that’s ready for some serious love, joy, and yes, regular grooming and care (don't forget those bills! 💰). This wonderful dog is well worth it and deserves a family that views him as a cherished member—a forever home where he can feel secure and adored. Are you ready to embark on this incredible journey with Whittaker? Apply to adopt him through the *Buddy App*! 🥳 Your future best friend is waiting! 💖 Remember, Whittaker is patiently waiting to meet his forever family! Local applications will have priority, but if you’re willing to make a trip to Charlotte for a meet and greet, he can’t wait to meet you!
