Ihop is a truly special boy with a calm, steady presence and a heart full of loyalty. Most of the time, he's content to relax in his home, quietly keeping you company or stretching out beside you for a nap. He loves to snuggle in bed and will happily lie right next to you and he's polite enough to let you sleep in! He is a tripod. Ihop does wonderfully with children of all ages. He is calm, patient often laying right beside them. He also does well with big dogs, small dogs, and even cats. He can thrive as an only dog or with a playmate. He is leash trained, potty trained, and enjoys his daily walks. In fact, he'll head to the front door and give a little whine to remind you it's time! He enjoys fetch, toys, lounging in the sun or shade, and even gets the occasional zoomies. One of his cutest quirks? He likes looking at himself in the mirror. Ihop can be unsure around adult men at first and may bark initially. With patience, time, and treats, he does warm up. He does well with boys and female family members. He can also be reactive to other barking dogs and should be properly introduced and managed. He is protective of his home and can be an escape artist if given the opportunity, so a secure yard and leash supervision are very important. Structure and boundaries will help him succeed. Ihop came from a shelter before going into foster care. He previously suffered an injury to his back left leg and pelvis that required amputation. He has fully recovered and does not let being a tripod slow him down in any way. He runs, plays, snuggles, and enjoys life just like any other dog. Ihop would do best with a patient, structured home that understands he needs a little time to adjust - especially around men. With consistency and love, he has the potential to be an incredibly loyal, affectionate, and devoted companion! Ihop is from Texas.
