Once you get down to his level, he transforms into a bundle of joy and wiggles with happiness. He loves to explore every corner of the yard and revels in the simple pleasure of being petted, often wagging his tail to express his contentment. With time, his goofy side comes out, presenting a playful pup who enjoys bouncing around and engaging in games. Higgins is a true cuddle enthusiast, eagerly giving kisses and soaking up belly rubs when he’s ready to relax. Higgins walks well on a leash and responds to calls, though he is still mastering the concept of toys. He may need some basic training to refine his manners, as he can get jumpy during exciting moments. This affectionate boy shows promise in potentially getting along with another dog if introductions are handled carefully. Please keep in mind that the shelter environment can be overwhelming for dogs. A suggested three-day decompression period can help bring out Higgins's playful personality.
