Meet Latte! This 9-pound Terrier mix is bursting with personality, energy, and a zest for life. At 5 years old, Latte's favorite pastime is zooming around with his canine pals in an endless game of chase. He absolutely thrives in the company of other dogs, not just as playmates, but as confidence-builders and guides as he navigates the world. Because of this, Latte is searching for a home that includes another confident, social dog who can show him the ropes and help him feel secure as he settles in.
While Latte is a social butterfly with other dogs, he's still learning to trust people. He can be sensitive to handling and needs time to build relationships at his own pace. The good news is he's making fantastic progress daily! With patience, consistency, and plenty of delicious treats, Latte is becoming more confident and comfortable by leaps and bounds.
Ideal Home
Latte is seeking a calm, patient adopter who understands that trust is earned, not rushed. Experience with shy or undersocialized dogs would be a bonus, but the most important quality is a commitment to meeting him where he is and celebrating every step forward. A securely fenced yard is essential for Latte to safely explore and build confidence. Due to his sensitive nature and ongoing confidence-building, he requires a home without young children and a calm, predictable environment.
Ongoing Health
Latte is a healthy boy ready for his forever home.
Training & Support
Latte is working on building his confidence with people and may need continued practice with leash skills and handling.

Because he is a flight risk and sensitive to handling, elevated safety awareness and structured management are necessary.
