I can be nervous around new people. It just takes me a little while to get comfortable. But once I get to know you, I'm very loving.

I'm pretty happy to go at your pace and I don't really need much more than most dogs do. If you're looking for a steady companion, I'm all yours.

It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.

I'm not on the general adoption floor. You might not see me when you come to visit. So please speak to an adoption counselor if you'd like to meet me.

I'm a social guy who adores my people and loves to tell them all about my day with my charming grumbles and happy woofs. I enjoy walks and exploring! I'm a big fan of belly rubs and will happily curl up next to you for a movie marathon. I prefer to use the bathroom outside and keep my space clean and tidy. I'm looking for a forever home where I can be the king of the castle and get all the attention and head scratches I deserve. Could you be my perfect match? 🐾🧑😊 Django has been in foster four a couple of weeks now and doing great! Here are some things his foster family says about him: He is a bit of a goof ball. He would be a great cuddler for someone inclined to let him in the couch. We have left him alone in the house a few times now (no more than a couple of hours so far) with no damage, although he did collect a few items the last time (a sweater and shoes) on his bed!
