About Plutarch

Plutarch is a 45 lb. neutered male, around one year old. He has a timid nature that shows, especially in new environments, like navigating hallways where loud traffic and wind make him uneasy. However, his food motivation can win him over quickly. When offered treats, he starts to relax, and I even caught some tail wags from him. He occasionally sits, though he’s still learning what that means. Once in a calmer setting, Plutarch shows his playful side and loves belly rubs, often rolling over for attention. He’s a little wiggly and gives plenty of kisses. While he may be unsure about unfamiliar things, he is eager to connect with people and build trust. Slow, patient introductions will help him shine more fully. He appears non-reactive around other dogs, so he might adjust well to a fur sibling. Plutarch will need some time to acclimate to his new home and family, as adjusting can take a few days. It’s essential to provide reassurance and a safe space as he settles in. Together, with a little kindness, he’ll find his confidence. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
