Ready to receive Puddles of love? This wiggly, waggly sweetheart is resilient, affectionate, and ready for a forever home. After recovering amazingly from serious heat stroke, he has shown himself to be a wonderful companion who enjoys nice people, calm music, sniff walks, cuddles, and wiggling around.

Ideal Home

Puddles prefers calm, respectful interactions and may be uncomfortable when someone comes on too strongly. He is dog neutral and can coexist with other dogs, though he has not enjoyed playing with them at the shelter. His behavior with cats and children is unknown.

Ongoing Health

Puddles weighs 67.2 pounds and has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia. Adopters should seek veterinary guidance for lifelong joint management, which may include medications, supplements, moderate daily exercise, and limiting high-impact activities such as jumping and sprinting. He is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Training & Support

Puddles walks wonderfully on leash and is continuing to improve with positive reinforcement training. He is doing well with a shelter schedule and is likely housebroken. Crate training is unknown because he has not been crated while in care.
