About SQUASH

Meet Squash, a sweet and independent dog who's on the lookout for a patient and loving forever home. While Squash may not be the first to seek affection, he has the potential to be a truly loving companion once he feels comfortable. His love language is definitely treats – he enjoys a good snack and then being free to do his own thing. It will take time and understanding for Squash to fully trust and open up, but with the right environment and plenty of love, he has the potential to blossom into the affectionate pup he's meant to be. This special boy needs a warm and understanding home that will give him the space and time to come out of his shell on his own terms. If you're searching for a loyal companion who just needs a little extra patience and love to thrive, Squash might be your perfect match!

Thanks to a generous donor, Squash will go home with a FREE adoption success kit, which includes a crate, collar, leash, and other goodies to help him settle in!

Ideal Home

Squash would thrive in a home that offers patience and understanding, allowing him to warm up at his own pace.

Ongoing Health

Squash is neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations.

Training & Support

Squash's favorite way to bond is through treats, and he enjoys taking them and then going about his business. He will need continued patience and positive reinforcement to build trust and learn to be more affectionate.
