I was found at a music store in Mississippi, so my name was a no‑brainer 🎸🎵. And just like my name, I bring all the good vibes!<br/><br/>I’m a super boy with a gentle soul 💙. I might be a little shy when we first meet, but once I know I’m safe, my heart opens wide—and trust me, I want to love sooo badly 🥹💕. I’m the kind of guy who bonds deeply and gives love with my whole heart.<br/><br/>🐶 I enjoy hanging out with my doggie friends—mostly just vibing together, then bursting into a playful run every now and then! I’ve got the perfect energy level: not too wild, not too mellow… just right ✨.<br/><br/>🌞 My dream day? Listening to music with you while you grill out in a fenced backyard, or soaking up the sunshine on a beautiful afternoon 🎶🍔. In the evenings, you’ll find me cuddled up next to you, enjoying TV time and all the cozy feels 📺🛋️.<br/><br/>👦👧 Because I start out shy, I’d do best with older kids who understand giving me a moment to warm up—but once I do, I’m all in ❤️.<br/><br/>🌲 I love going on walks and exploring the wilderness with my humans, discovering new smells and adventures together. I also enjoy bones and toys for playtime here and there 🦴🧸.<br/><br/>I’m a loving, handsome, perfect‑size guy who’s ready for a fresh start and a forever family 💫.

Fetching Hearts Rescue's Adoption Policy
Apply for any of our dogs: https://www.fetchingheartsrescue.org/adoption-form-online Our team of screeners will process you application once received. This process typically takes a couple days to a week. Once processed, you will hear back from one of our team members regarding your approval status & next steps. The next steps typically involve scheduling a meet and greet if the dog is already in the state, or informing you of the transport process, date & what to expect. If all goes well during your meet & greet you will be able to take home your new family member. All meet and greets are held with the intention of adoption, but only if you and the foster agree that the dog is a good match for you and your family. We ask that you come to the meet and greet or transport day with a leash, collar, name tag (even with just your information on it, if you don't know a name yet), water, a few biscuits, and maybe a blanket or bed for the car ride home. If your dog has any special food, toys, a bed etc., the foster or volunteer will provide these to you. They will also have the dog's medical records and will review these with you before handing them off.
