Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Auto is looking for his copilot and ready for a fresh start after his previous guardian was no longer able to care for him. This lovable boy is a true sweetheart once he gets to know you—he’s affectionate, wiggly, and always eager to be by your side. Auto delights in leaning into pets, sprawling out for belly rubs, and checking in with you on walks. While he may be young, he has a mellow side and equally enjoys lounging around the house as much as a car ride or adventure. He’s easygoing in many ways and simply craves a human to share life’s journey. Auto does have a few quirks that make him unique. His body language can be a bit tricky to interpret at first: a tucked tail or curled lip means he’s feeling uncertain or trying to appease—not anything to worry about. With time and understanding, his signals become easy to read, and you’ll see the gentle soul beneath. Auto moves a little differently than most dogs, but his orthopedic exam showed everything is normal. His unique build is just part of his charm! If you’re open to learning Auto’s special way of communicating and are committed to helping him build his confidence, you’ll find a devoted, cuddly companion who’s ready to ride shotgun through life with you. He’s been friendly with female dogs while in care and would be happy to meet your resident canine, though he hasn’t had known experience with cats. Auto may thrive in a home with adults and teenagers. At the Humane Society of Chittenden County, dog adoptions are by appointment; once you apply, the team will help guide you through the next steps and set up a counseling session to ensure a perfect match. This could be the start of something paw-some.
