About Bullet

Bullet is a charming dog who can win you over in no time. He’s affectionate, full of personality, and thrives on being close to his people. Known for good recall and the ability to sit on command, he can also relax when receiving attention. But don’t let his sweet demeanor fool you; Bullet is energetic and loves to stay active. He can be reactive to fast-moving objects like cars and bicycles, and even everyday items like vacuums and lawn mowers can trigger him. Potential adopters should be prepared to manage his reactions safely. Bullet is also still learning about his boundaries at home. He sometimes struggles with furniture and counters and may nip when asked to leave something he wants. This means he needs a confident owner who understands dog behavior and is willing to reinforce positive interactions with him. Despite these challenges, Bullet shows many wonderful qualities: he is house trained, loves affection, and enjoys being part of a family. He previously lived with an active family, but his reactivity became more than they felt they could handle. Bullet doesn’t need to be labeled as difficult; he simply requires a calm and experienced handler to provide him with the structure and consistency he needs. If you're ready to help Bullet flourish, he could be a devoted companion for you. Our dog adoption fee typically includes spaying/neutering, microchipping, and vaccinations.
