’m an adorable and delightful boy once you get to know me. I faced some challenging times with teenagers in the past, which has made me cautious, but I’ve been coming along in leaps and bounds with my foster carers.

I’ve had lots of socialising. When I’m out at cafes, I like to cosy up on my bed. I appreciate it when strangers don’t stare or try to touch me, as this can make me anxious, causing me to growl or snap. Luckily, my humans kindly remind others to give me the space I need.

At home, I’m quite calm and well-behaved. I love cuddling with you on the couch, or playing with my squeaky toys. I’m crate-trained, and when I need downtime, I retreat to my crate to relax.

While I can be picky with food, my foster family has been helping me develop good mealtime habits. I see myself as a guard dog, growling or barking when someone approaches the door. I do have a little separation anxiety, so sometimes my humans sneak out the back to avoid upsetting me.

I take a few days to warm up to new people, and prefer to approach them on my terms. When someone reaches out their hand to me, it can trigger my anxiety, especially if they come directly at me. However, if I decide to settle next to someone, I gladly welcome their pats. I’m friendly with other dogs; I might growl a little at first, but I enjoy their company.

I’m good at following commands like “sit” and “wait,” and I’m improving my leash walking skills. One of my mischievous habits is running away when I have food in my mouth!

I’m looking for a loving home that will patiently help me overcome my troubled past. Are you willing to give me time and space to adjust? I promise I have a lot of love to share.
