About Sarge

Meet Sarge, a goofy and lovable cuddlebug with adorable big jowls. This charming boy loves lounging around the house, carrying stuffed toys, and snuggling as close as possible—often sharing your pillow at bedtime. Sarge's happy moments are spent curled up beside you, soaking in every hug and keeping the silliness alive with his wiggly tail nub. While Sarge is potty trained when people are home, he might have accidents if left alone for too long. He does best when crated while unattended and is improving his crate training every day. He walks nicely on a leash and adores cuddle time with his favorite humans. It's important to note that Sarge has resource guarding behaviors around food and certain toys only with other dogs, requiring him to be in a structured, experienced home. Ideally, he should be the only dog or placed in a home with someone familiar with managing multi-dog dynamics. He would thrive best away from cats and young children. Sarge is a sweet companion who will fill your life with snuggles, goofy antics, and devoted love. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
