Pet Location: Wayside’s Canine Behavior Center – I'd love to show off all the cool things I’ve learned at Wayside! Please arrive at the shelter before 4pm on our open adoption days to meet me! <br/><br/>My Friends at Wayside say: <br/>- I am enrolled in LIFT University and Waifs with Wisdom. LIFT University is a program for dogs to build confidence in new situations and work on managing energy. Waifs with Wisdom is a program for dogs to learn basic commands and leash walking skills. My adoption comes with a free 30-minute private training session. <br/>- I’m a little shy—slow and steady wins the race with me.<br/>- Once I warm up, I'm a wiggly and affectionate goofball!<br/>- I LOVE my squeaky toys and stuffies!<br/>- I am eligible for a Slumber Pawty, a 7-10 day in-home trial period. Please visit our website for additional information. <br/> <br/>My home needs are: <br/>- I need a home without other dogs - I prefer having your attention all to myself!<br/>- I need a home with kids 6 years old and older since I tend to be nervous around new people and loud noises.<br/>-Wayside recommends no apartments or shared living spaces for me. I like to use my voice when I am excited, and I am still learning to walk on leash! <br/>- For my safety, I need to go home on an anti-slip collar called a martingale collar. For your convenience, we sell them in our retail store, Whiskers and Wags.<br/><br/>Check out my super cool new video!

I’m a sweet, goofy guy with a big heart, though I’m a bit on the shy side when I first meet new people. Because the world can feel a little overwhelming to me sometimes, I’m currently enrolled in a wonderful training program called LIFT. It’s been amazing for me because it’s teaching me how to build my confidence and work on my impulse control. I actually really love the challenge of training. I’m a bright boy who loves learning new things, especially when there are some tasty treats involved!<br/><br/>Once I get to know you and feel safe, my true personality really shines through. I absolutely adore my toys and will happily show off my zoomie when I get excited! While I have plenty of energy for play, I also have a very sweet, mellow side. There’s nothing I love more than receiving gentle pets from my favorite humans or just curling up on the couch to hang out and relax after a busy day. I’m the perfect balance of a fun-loving playmate and a loyal couch potato.<br/><br/>To be my happiest and most confident self, I do have a few requests for my forever home. I really need a house with a fenced-in yard where I can run around safely and feel secure. I’m also a guy who prefers to be the center of your universe, so I’ll need a home where I’m the only dog; I just have so much love to give that I want to keep it all for you! If you are a patient person who is willing to give me the time I need to warm up, I promise to reward you with a lifetime of goofy smiles and unconditional devotion.<br/><br/>Love, Boots
