About Caleb

Caleb is a handsome adventurer looking to swap his solo explorations for shared journeys with a dedicated companion. Found as a stray near Mount Airy, NC, Caleb has likely had all kinds of experiences on his travels through the foothills. Now, he seeks an active navigator to guide him into his next chapter, and if you bring treats, you'll quickly become his favorite! He's an affectionate fellow who loves being around people. Fully house-trained, Caleb rides well in the car, and his eagerness to please makes him a joy to have around. While his basic commands like "sit" and "stay" could use some refinement, he's food-motivated and responds well to tasty rewards and consistent practice. Caleb can be somewhat socially awkward with other dogs. He tends to bark as a warning and may miss subtle cues from other dogs about their comfort levels. He currently lives with another dog, and while they get along most of the time, they benefit from supervision and some alone time, especially during mealtimes. Thoughtful introductions and guidance will help him build better dog-to-dog manners. Caleb craves structure, patience, and exercise, and he’s eager for a partner willing to help him channel his adventurous spirit in the right direction. It’s time for him to start making memories with a friend who values teamwork on their journeys together. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
