About Ambassador

Ambassador is a big, goofy puppy with a larger-than-life love for both air and water. When he first landed at the shelter, he was nervous and unsure, but with time, patience, and a steady supply of treats, Ambassador has truly come into his own. Now, he greets everyone who comes his way with that trademark wiggly enthusiasm—they call him a social butterfly for a reason. Water is his absolute favorite. Sprinklers, hoses, puddles—if it splashes, he’s in it up to his ears. This, paired with a love for toys and snacks (and people), guarantees not a dull moment. He’s got surprisingly good hops for his size and a silly streak that’s impossible to ignore. Food motivates Ambassador, so training is both effective and enjoyable. If what you want is a devoted adventure buddy with a splash-loving heart and comic timing, you just found him. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
