About Syrus

Meet Syrus. He’s a sweet, loving one-year-old with a gentle personality and a strong need to be close to his people. Syrus enjoys affection and soaks up attention, always looking for a soft spot at your side. He’s at a stage where he’s growing and learning, especially with leash skills, so he’ll need a patient adopter ready to continue his training and help him gain confidence. Consistency will go a long way—Syrus responds well when shown love and clear boundaries. An ideal home for Syrus is one that offers dedicated time for play, bonding, and steady encouragement. He’s not fully house trained yet and will need some guidance on that front. A fenced yard is important for his safe exercise and exploration, since new places can be exciting and a bit overwhelming. Syrus does best as the only dog and isn’t comfortable with cats, but he thrives around people and loves children who are gentle with him. He’s still waiting on some routine vetting and will be neutered before going to his new home. He’s full of potential and looking for someone willing to guide him as he matures.
