About Davey

Davey is currently part of our shelter outreach program, helping dogs from overcrowded shelters find their forever homes. He’s a handsome, 1-year-old mixed breed, weighing in at 17 pounds, and his looks have sparked curiosity among everyone who meets him. While he might have hints of Chihuahua and Jack Russell Terrier, it's his unique personality that truly stands out. Though Davey can be shy and a bit nervous when encountering new people, he transforms into a sweet and affectionate companion once he builds trust. He thrives in the company of his people and forms close bonds with those who are patient and understanding. With above-average energy levels, he’s looking for an active family that can provide him with regular exercise, training, and a structured environment. Although he's still learning about the world, consistent positive reinforcement will greatly help bolster his confidence. Davey interacts nicely with other dogs and may coexist peacefully with cats who are dog-savvy, as he shows little interest in them. He prefers a calm environment, so he’s seeking a home with children aged 14 and older, who can give him the space he needs to feel comfortable. Ideally, a home with a securely fenced yard will let him run and play freely. With patience and love, Davey will blossom into the confident companion he has the potential to be.
