Sunshine in dog form, with the perfect balance of social butterfly energy and goofy charm, this is Wes! Wes is estimated to be just over a year old and weighs around 51 lbs. He appears to be a lab/pittie mix with a happy-go-lucky, people-loving personality shining through in everything he does. Wes truly is a dog who wakes up ready to enjoy life and wants to bring you along with him. He has a warm, welcoming energy that makes him instantly lovable. He leans in when meeting new people, adores affection, and happily rolls over for a belly rub, making fast friends everywhere he goes.
Wes is also wonderfully social with other dogs. He's friendly, playful, and knows how to mix and mingle, especially in a group setting. He would thrive with another medium-energy dog to play with, and he's happy to match the energy of a more playful companion. After playtime, Wes has a great off-switch and is happy to settle down indoors. This balance of playful energy and easy downtime makes him a fun and easy companion.
His love of play and other dogs means he can be a bit of a puller on leash when he sees other dogs, but this is due to excitement, not reactivity. He responds well to corrections and is very treat-motivated, so with consistency and treats, he will polish up nicely. Wes loves his food and takes treats gently, with great manners around other dogs. He would do well in a home with a yard or an apartment, as long as his person enjoys getting out and about with him. He would shine as a go-everywhere, do-everything dog for hikes, patio hangs, and neighborhood strolls.
Wes met a house cat and was very excited to make a new friend, coming in with kisses and play bows. Because of this enthusiasm, he'll do best with a dog-savvy cat who can set boundaries. Ideally, he'd also have another dog in the home as an appropriate outlet for his playful side. Wes can get a little vocal, so apartment living isn't ideal. He also loves being outside for play sessions and a good roll in the grass, so a house with a yard is a dream! Wes is ready to brighten your life with extra joy, laughter, and a whole lot of love.
