Truman is a charming 4-5 year old boy, weighing 45 pounds, who is bursting with puppy-like energy and affection! He's a sturdy little fellow with a muscular build, and despite his past, he greets everyone with immense joy. Truman was rescued from a puppy mill, where he endured a life confined to a kennel until he was surrendered to a shelter in 2023, underweight and withdrawn. He has shown incredible resilience and progress, learning to trust and forming deep bonds with people. He's a smart cookie, knowing commands like "sit," "down," and "wait," and he's also perfectly house-trained and content in his crate. Truman is eager to please and highly motivated by treats, making him a joy to train.
Ideal Home
Truman is a delightful mix of playful energy and snuggly sweetness. He adores new toys and loves nothing more than cuddling on the couch and showering you with kisses. However, due to his past experiences, Truman needs a patient and understanding home that can help him build confidence in new situations and with new people. He can become overstimulated and forget his manners, so a home environment that can manage this is crucial.
Ongoing Health
Truman is in good health and has no known medical conditions. All medical information is provided by his caretaker.
Training & Support
Truman is a quick learner, especially with food motivation! He knows basic commands and is house-trained. However, he requires ongoing training to increase his tolerance for new experiences and people. When overstimulated, he tends to jump. A dedicated adopter committed to his continued behavioral development is key to his success.
