Truman: Smart, Snuggly, and So Full of Life!

We are absolutely in love with Truman (DOB 8/11/24)! One look into those stunning light-colored eyes and you’ll be smitten too. This handsome boy is as smart as he is good-looking - he already knows sit, stay, crate, and is working hard on leave it. Truman is fully potty and crate trained, and will even bark or ring the bell to let you know when he needs to go out (or when he’d like a snack or a refill of water - he’s a great communicator!).

Truman has the perfect mix of energy and chill. He’s an active, playful guy who loves walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, and exploring the outdoors. (He may pull when he spots a squirrel or rabbit — it’s hard to resist the chase!) But when playtime’s over, Truman is all about snuggles. He’s a certified couch companion and loves nothing more than curling up next to you - bonus points if he gets to be the big spoon.

He’s a fan of hard chew toys (stuffed toys don’t stand a chance) and enjoys Kongs stuffed with yogurt and strawberries as his special enrichment treat. Truman gets along well with dogs after proper introductions and has learned his place in the pack. He’s curious about cats — he won’t hurt them, but kittens might bring out his “squirrel instincts,” so a home without small cats would be best.

Truman is a big boy with a big heart who’s still got a few puppy tendencies — like being a little mouthy and sneaking in a chew on a blanket corner — but he’s eager to please and loves learning.

Because of his size and energy, we think Truman would do best in a home with kids 12 and up.

If you’re looking for a smart, loving, fun-spirited dog who will keep you laughing, active, and cozy all at once, Truman’s your guy!
