About Anderson James

Meet Anderson James, a lovable Doodle who thrives on attention and belly rubs. At 7 years old, his warm brown eyes and tousled curls make him an instant charmer. Anderson's story is touching; he was cherished by a couple, and after his dad's passing, his mom added 'James' to his name in his father’s memory. Now in need of a new home after changes in his mom's life, Anderson is ready to find that special connection again. This sweet boy has shown himself to be well-mannered and enjoys leisurely walks where he can take his time to explore. He rides well in the car and knows how to 'sit'. At the shelter, he has been affectionate, often curling up next to staff members, showing how much companionship means to him. A patient family will help him settle into a routine with plenty of positive reinforcement for learning. Anderson James does not handle time alone well, so open communication about your daily schedule will be essential for helping him adapt. It's worth noting that he has been known to swallow non-food items, so careful supervision and safe toys will be necessary. He has lived with other dogs but can be selective with canine friends, so a meet-and-greet is suggested before any decisions are made. While his history with cats is unclear, he hasn’t lived with children, though respectful kids who allow him space may be a good match. Anderson James is eager for a new chapter filled with kindness, companionship, and lots of belly rubs. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
