I’m not the kind of dog who runs up to strangers right away. When I meet someone new, I like to hang back a little, watch, and make sure everything feels safe. I might sniff the air, tilt my head, and keep a polite distance at first. Once I know you are? That’s when the real me comes out. I’ll be honest, though... I can get a little hyper sometimes. When I’m excited, my whole body wiggles and I might forget that not everyone wants a full-speed zoomie celebration. I have a lot of enthusiasm and not always the best idea of where to put it. With some consistent training and guidance, I know I could learn to channel all that energy into being the very best boy I can be. Underneath my shy beginnings and bouncy moments, I’m a very sweet boy. I love gentle pets, cozy spots beside you on the couch, and quiet moments where I can rest my head on your knee. Once I trust you, I’ll follow you from room to room just to be close. My tail wags a little faster, my eyes get softer, and I’ll lean into your hand like I’ve been yours forever. I may take my time, and I may get a little wiggly with excitement, but my heart is big. And when I give it, I give it completely. I have so much love to give... I just need a little patience, a few treats, and someone willing to help me learn.
