About Empanada
Empanada needs time and patience when meeting new people. He prefers slow handling and the chance to come around at his own speed, but once he feels secure, his whole body wriggles to greet you and he likes to hang out nearby. An adopter willing to continue gentle confidence-building will help him truly come out of his shell. He could blossom with a relaxed, mature household—kids who are loud, fast, or unpredictable can overwhelm him. Empanada enjoys treats and learning at a relaxed pace. When it comes to other dogs, he should meet new friends slowly, as he warms up on his own terms and may be selective about which dogs he enjoys. A confident, steady dog friend could help him settle in, but any dog introductions should be gradual. His history with cats is unknown. Empanada is neutered and current on his vaccinations. He’s best for someone who values a sensitive, steady companion and is willing to let him take his time adjusting. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
