Hi, I'm Happy, and I truly live up to my name. I'm completely housebroken and have a wonderful mix of playful energy and calm cuddles. I love walks, tug of war, running at the dog park, lounging in the sun, and most of all, being close to my people. I'm a big lap dog who will happily lean into you or curl up nearby for snuggles.<br/><br/>I'm very playful and friendly with other dogs of all sizes. I can get excited by small animals on walks and I'm a strong guy, but otherwise I walk nicely at your pace and respond well to cues. I'm smart, pick up on routines quickly, and understand what belongs to me. A simple reminder is all I need if I take interest in something I shouldn't.<br/><br/>I can be shy at first and it takes me about a week to fully adjust to a new home. I'm protective of my family, so meeting new people on neutral ground works best. Loud noises and busy roads can make me nervous, and I appreciate having a quiet place to retreat.<br/><br/>I would do best in a home without small children or small animals, simply because I sometimes forget how big I am. With a loving family, a steady routine, and plenty of cuddles, I'll be the most loyal, sweet, and devoted companion you could ask for.<br/><br/>I also qualify for Welcome Trial, which means you can take me home for up to 14 days to make sure I'm the perfect fit before making things official.<br/><br/>Love,<br/>Happy ...
