Dave is a very large puppy with an even bigger heart hiding underneath his shy exterior. New things can make him a little unsure at first, but little by little he's starting to come out of his shell and show the sweet, goofy puppy he truly is. Once Dave feels comfortable, you'll see his playful side start to shine. He's still learning that the world isn't such a scary place, and having a confident, friendly dog around makes a huge difference for him. Because of this, Dave would do best in a home with another social dog who can help show him the ropes and continue building his confidence. Like any big puppy, Dave still has plenty of growing, learning, and adventures ahead of him. He'll need a patient adopter who understands that shy dogs blossom with time, encouragement, and consistency. Watching Dave gain confidence and discover how fun life can be is incredibly rewarding, and whoever gives this gentle giant a chance is going to end up with a very special best friend.
