About Lloyd

Lloyd quickly attaches to his people and thrives as a true companion. He’s the type who follows you from room to room, always eager for a belly rub, a nap nearby, or just a spot at your feet. When he’s not lounging, Lloyd loves to play, sprint around the yard, or soak up time on walks. He’s a quick study and enjoys learning new tricks, so someone ready to engage both his body and mind will be rewarded with a loyal buddy. Lloyd does best as the only dog and can react when meeting new canine friends, so a solo-pet household is best. He's got a noticeable prey drive, so cat introductions should be cautious. Older kids who understand how to treat dogs gently are his speed, and he’ll really settle in with a family that offers calm and predictability—busy apartments or condos aren’t his groove. He’s most comfortable in quieter neighborhoods and can be a bit wary with strangers, so the right adopter will know to go slow on introductions. Lloyd is currently in a foster home, not the shelter itself. Given his September 8th birthday, Lloyd is a practical, loyal Virgo—no surprise there. Ready to fall in love?
