Meet Pound cake! This sweet little guy has a serious case of the “I just want to be with my people” syndrome—and honestly, we can’t blame him. Pound cake is friendly, affectionate, playful, and happiest when he’s included in whatever his humans are doing. Give him some love, a few treats, a good meal, and a toy to fetch, and you’ve got one very happy little dog!

Pound cake loves people and does well with kids. He’s an enthusiastic greeter who gets so excited to see you that his whole body seems to say, “YOU’RE HERE! I LOVE YOU!” He can jump surprisingly high and occasionally uses his mouth to give a gentle little “hello,” so polite greeting manners are still on his list of things to learn. His nails can be a little sharp, too, but all of these are simply opportunities for this eager-to-please guy to keep learning.

Out on walks, Pound cake is a star. He walks beautifully on leash, stays nicely to the right, and pays close attention to his person. He can get a little worked up when he sees other dogs, but he is making great progress with treats, praise, and positive redirection. In his foster home, he is also very respectful of the resident dog, and the two are gradually becoming more comfortable together.

Pound cake is making good progress with housetraining, too. With regular walks, he does a great job holding his urine, although he may still have the occasional nighttime accident and is sometimes a little optimistic about his pee-pad aim.

More than anything, Pound cake is looking for someone to love. He wants to be your sidekick, your fetch buddy, your treat enthusiast, and the little guy who is thrilled simply because he gets to be part of your life. He’s got a few manners to polish, but underneath it all is a wonderfully loving, affectionate dog who is ready to find his person and finally have the happy life he deserves. ❤️🐾
