Texas is a young, enthusiastic dog looking for a patient, active home. Found as a stray, he enjoys exploring and sniffing, and once comfortable, he leans into gentle affection. His adoption fee is waived, and adoption includes a $50 Chewy gift card.

Ideal Home

Texas would thrive with plenty of daily physical exercise and mental enrichment. Food puzzles, long-lasting chews, hide-and-seek, and reward-based training can help keep his mind busy. He should be allowed to approach new people at his own pace. His history with other animals is unknown, so introductions should be slow, thoughtful, and supervised after he has decompressed.

Texas would do best in a home without children under 13. Older, dog-savvy children should have an in-depth interaction with him before adoption and be prepared to respect his boundaries.

Ongoing Health

Texas has shown discomfort during veterinary care and will benefit from treats and other positive experiences to help him become more comfortable with handling.

Training & Support

Texas will benefit from patient, positive training. He has been tense around toys and may hover or body-block when he has something valuable. He should be left alone while enjoying his toys and taught positive trade-up and drop cues. Nothing should be taken directly from his mouth.
