Meet Panettone, a one-year-old, 55-pound sweetheart who’s the perfect blend of calm, playful, and eager to please. This well-mannered boy is a dream to walk—curious about the world but never pulling or rushing. He settles in quickly, keeps things quiet and relaxed, and is fully housetrained, even letting his people know when he needs to go out. Panettone can be a little unsure about showing affection at first, but once he warms up, his gentle nature shines. After spending the weekend in a foster home, he proved just how loving he can be—especially with children. He adored the five-year-old in the home, following him from room to room, always ready to play, cuddle, or attempt a game of hide-and-seek. He is incredibly gentle with kids and seems happiest when he has a little human friend to dote on. At home, Panettone was an easy, respectful guest. He slept through the night quietly in his dog bed (with the occasional loud snore!) and handled being left alone beautifully—just a few minutes of whining before settling into a nap. He loves toys, shows off his goofy side during playtime, and is picking up cues like "sit" and "drop it." On walks, he may have a minute or two of excitement, but he quickly falls into a polite rhythm and even practiced sitting calmly to let people and dogs pass. Like many young dogs, Panettone can get a little overtired in the evenings—extra jumpy and fighting sleep until he finally conks out—but it’s minor, manageable, and honestly kind of endearing. Handsome, sweet, gentle with children, and ready to learn, Panettone is the kind of dog who fits easily into a home and into your heart. He’s simply a joy.
