About Icarus

Icarus is a sweet boy who came to the shelter through no fault of his own. Recently returned for struggling to adjust to living with young children, he is looking for a fresh start. A loving and playful companion, Icarus deserves a home that respects his space. He would thrive best in a household with kids aged 16 and older, or in an adult-only home. He enjoys walks, playing with his favorite toys, and soaking up attention from his humans. Icarus prefers to be the only dog in the home so he can enjoy all the love for himself. While it's uncertain how he feels about cats, any introductions should be approached slowly. If you're ready for a loyal companion who’s eager for adventures and affection, Icarus is ready to show you just how wonderful life can be with him by your side. What are you waiting for?
