Dewey is the kind of dog who will hike through the woods with you in the morning and curl up beside you while you drink your coffee like it’s his full-time job. At around 2 years old and 45–50 pounds, this Carolina Dog mix is equal parts outdoorsman and devoted companion. Dewey is incredibly smart and thrives when his brain is engaged. He loves playing hide-and-seek, “find it” with treats, and solving little homemade puzzles. Sniffing is his favorite pastime — whether it’s longline exploring in the yard or taking in every scent on a woodland hike. And if there’s snow? Even better. Dewey bounds through it with pure joy. He has a playful, goofy side that’s impossible not to smile at. Once unsure about toys, he now proudly carries around his beloved squeaky ball and enjoys a good game of tug.
Ideal Home
Dewey thrives with structure and a calm, structured environment. A yard for sniffing and enrichment is a big plus. We recommend a home without young children, and an experienced adopter.
Ongoing Health
Dewey is a healthy boy with no known ongoing health conditions.
Training & Support
Dewey does experience leash reactivity toward passing dogs, people, and bicycles. He is improving with training, but he will need a confident, dog-savvy adopter committed to continuing positive reinforcement training and mindful threshold management. He is crate trained, food motivated, and follows a consistent daily routine beautifully. He waits patiently at the door before walks, enjoys relaxing on his “place” mat, and loves slow, cozy morning snuggles.
