Papa is a sweet little 17lb gentleman who recently came into our care due to a change in his previous owner's living situation. While this transition has been a big adjustment for him, Papa is already showing what a loving and loyal companion he can be. Papa can be a bit shy at first and may take some time to feel comfortable in a new environment, but once he warms up, his playful and affectionate personality really shines. He forms strong bonds with his people and loves being close, which means he can experience some separation anxiety and may be vocal when left alone. Because of this, he'll do best in a home where someone is around more often or where his alone time is kept to shorter periods (about 2 hours or less). He has a gentle, soft mouth and they let us know he enjoys playing, making him a great companion for both people and other pets. Papa gets along well with dogs and cats, and would likely enjoy having a furry friend in the home. He's housetrained and motivated by both affection and toys, which will make continued training a fun and rewarding experience. Papa has a medium energy level-he enjoys playtime and time outside, and would do best in a home with access to a yard where he can explore and stretch his legs. With a little patience and a lot of love, Papa will blossom into a devoted, joyful companion. If you're looking for a sweet, sensitive pup who will truly bond with you, Papa might just be your perfect match
