🐾🏡 Meet Puffy - Your Gentle Companion Awaiting a Forever Home! 🏡🐾
Hello there, potential new family! My name is Puffy, and I'm a medium to large-sized, soft-hearted buddy who's about 5 years young. I am currently searching for a loving home where I can thrive and share my gentle nature.
💘Personality:
I'm the epitome of a quiet companion. If you're looking for a playful, high-energy pet, I might not be the one. But if you appreciate a calm, soothing presence in your home, I could be your perfect match. I'm still a bit nervous about certain things and need a patient owner who understands that I'll take my time to get comfortable.
🦮Favorite Activities:
My idea of a great day includes lounging around and catching some Z's, enjoying delicious meals, and savoring the taste of milk, which I absolutely adore. I love my strolls, exploring the garden, and am always up for some gentle strokes and a nice brushing session.
🦴Toilet Training:
Yes, indeed! I am very tidy and have impeccable bathroom manners.
🐶Training:
I can be a tad stubborn when it comes to training, but I've mastered the art of 'sit' and 'paw' – especially when there's something in it for me. I believe in fair trade!
🐕🦺Lead Training:
I'm quite good on the leash and enjoy walks where I can explore and sniff to my heart's content.
✨Behavioral Notes:
I must confess, I have a certain unease around men. If I find myself behind them, I might get startled and react by jumping up or lunging. Despite this, I'm not aggressive; I'm just trying to express my discomfort. It's something I need help and understanding with, and a calm and assertive owner could help me work through this.
❣️Sociability:
I get along well with other dogs and can live happily with dog-savvy older children (10+ years old). As for cats and smaller animals, that's an unknown territory for me.
🐾Adjusting to New Environments:
I might find new people and places overwhelming at first, and I tend to retreat to a quiet corner to observe and settle down on my own terms. I also have a strong dislike for the train, so I'd prefer to steer clear of those.
🏡Looking for:
A patient, loving, and understanding family or individual who will give me the time and space to become comfortable in my new surroundings. A home without young children or a lot of male visitors would probably be best for me.
