Takes treats so gently

I’m a gentle soul that’s a little clumsy and full of love.

I can be vocal if I need to go potty, want water, am hungry, or want to play. I don’t really bark unless I’m really excited or my protective instincts kick in.

I am easily nervous so restaurant patios and things like that are not for me. I’m also not a big fan of car rides but don’t get sick or anything. I’m just a homebody – I want to sleep next to you while you work, cook dinner, or relax in the house. My favorite spot is on the couch next to you. I just want to nap, play, give kisses, and get belly rubs.

My ideal home is a patient and understanding family who considers all that I’ve gone through and is willing to work through my anxiety with me. I would also love a quiet home with a secure backyard so I can run and play and sniff all I want.
