Trinket is exactly what his name suggests: a little treasure! He's a sweet, gentle, and affectionate boy who is just a really good dog. Calm and easygoing, but still enjoys a bit of playtime, he strikes the perfect balance between chill cuddler and fun adventurer. Trinket wants attention and connection, and he'll softly nuzzle into you or bury his head against you when he's hoping for a few more pets, which his way of saying "please don't stop" He does well with his crate when he's gently encouraged, but he prefers to be able to see his people. If he can't, he gets a bit unsure at bedtime, so he does best either sleeping nearby in the same room or snuggled in bed with you where he feels safe. He is a shy boy at first and will need time to build confidence in a new home. With patience, consistency, and kindness, Trinket slowly comes out of his shell and reveals his best boy personality. He's super gentle, is just looking for a calm, caring place to land where he can feel secure and loved. Trinket is from Texas.
