About Givenchy

Givenchy is a goofy pup full of energy and affection. He loves to play, whether it’s with people or on his own, and you'll often see him joyfully bouncing around with his favorite tennis balls and rope toys. Cuddly by nature, he enjoys crawling into laps for pets and has an endearing lack of awareness about personal space. He’s a fan of treats and shows potential for training as he already knows commands like sit, stay, and shake. A harness works best for him during walks, and he is fully potty trained, though remember that any dog can take a bit of time adjusting to a new environment. While he can be a little nervous around unfamiliar faces, Givenchy has made strides in confidence at the Animal Rescue League of Iowa. He'd thrive with a family willing to support his growth. He's had experience with kids of all ages, but a calmer home might be ideal as he continues to gain confidence. Although he can be socially awkward and a bit pushy with other dogs, he’s had outings to dog parks and could benefit from a dog friend with a slow introduction. Plus, there are indications he might have allergies, which are being monitored at the rescue. Ready to welcome this lovable boy into your home? He’s waiting for you!
