Meet Pokey, the sweet soul who's ready to leave behind the challenges of inadequate housing and find a loving home to call his own. At 3 years old and 56 lbs, Pokey may not be a fan of the shelter, but his heart is full of potential for a brighter future.
Pokey's initial exuberance for affection is evident as he wanted to jump on the handler, but with a bit of redirection, he quickly learned to sit for attention. Leaning in for pets and offering a gentle lick, Pokey's sweetness shines through. This fast learner is making strides in understanding treat etiquette—learning to sit calmly for treats and avoiding charging towards hands.
He came in with another dog but has been uncomfortable with dogs he's met at the shelter. Likely due to the stressful shelter environment but we believe he could co-exist with a social and tolerant pack or just as happy as your one and only!
With a heart full of sweetness and a willingness to learn, Pokey is ready to be the loyal companion in a home that understands his journey. Are you ready to open your heart to this charming pup?
