Hi there! My name is Southpaw, and I'm a handsome 7-month-old pup who's always ready to offer you my left paw. I absolutely love to play fetch with tennis balls and enjoy a good game of tug-of-war. As a dedicated "Velcro dog," I'll be right by your side, following you from room to room because I just adore my humans! I can do well in a crate during the day, but I do get a bit lonely. I'm dreaming of a home where someone is around more often, and there's plenty of space for me to zoom around and play. While I can be a little shy and anxious with new people and situations at first, once I get to know you, I become the most loyal best friend. I'm curious about cats, but they haven't quite warmed up to my playful energy, so I'd thrive as the only pet in the house or perhaps with one gentle, dog-friendly feline friend. My family jokes that I might be part cow because of the funny mooing sounds I make when I'm hungry or need to go out. I've had some basic training and am house-trained, but I would flourish with a patient and loving person who can continue my training journey to help me become an even gooder boy. Food is my world, so I'm very motivated by treats, which makes training a fun experience for everyone! Just a heads-up, I have a loud bark when startled, but it's only because I want to protect my loved ones. I even have a heart-shaped marking on my back, a constant reminder of the love I have to give. I'm looking for my forever family to shower with affection!

Training & Support
