About Happy

Meet Happy! Happy truly lives up to his name: he’s a goofy, lovable young pup that brings joy wherever he goes. He thrives on playtime with the other dogs in his foster home, and while he can get a bit rambunctious, he’s quick to respond to gentle reminders about his manners. Happy also gets along well with cats, though his enthusiastic greetings may not always be welcomed. At night, he settles comfortably in his kennel and sleeps soundly until morning. Though he's still finding his comfort in being kenneled during the day, he’s making excellent progress. This affectionate boy adores people and is always ready to give kisses. He’s calm in the car and loves joining in on adventures. Happy can be a little protective, letting you know when someone is approaching your home. He’s doing well with house training and is eager to learn new commands. Happy still needs some guidance with leash walking, as he's a bit cautious in new outdoor settings. Inside, though, he is confident and social, always looking to be part of the action. After playtime, Happy is all about snuggling. He already knows how to sit and wait patiently for his meals. He listens well when corrected and seeks to please his humans. If you’re seeking a playful, loyal companion who keeps you smiling and showered with love, Happy might just be the perfect addition to your family! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
