Ham's Story

Everyone else is going ham over Jelly Roll and Bunny XO's divorce...<br/>We're going Ham over this guy. <br/><br/>While the internet is busy chasing celebrity drama, we're focused on the real headline:<br/> Ham is available for adoption! <br/><br/> Ham <br/><br/>Part of our Thanksgiving litter, Ham is exactly what you'd expect from a growing puppy—equal parts sweet, goofy, energetic, and completely unaware of personal space. <br/><br/>Ham loves everyone and everything. He adores other dogs and would happily spend his entire day playing, wrestling, and following his canine friends around. He can be a little much at times and doesn't always pick up on social cues right away, but he's learning. If another dog tells him they've had enough, he generally takes the correction and moves on... at least until he gets another burst of puppy enthusiasm. <br/><br/>This handsome boy is curious, independent, and always wants to be involved in whatever is happening. He has a serious case of FOMO and doesn't appreciate being left out of the action. Whether you're playing outside, watching TV, or simply walking through the house, Ham wants to be right there with you.<br/>Like many puppies, he's still working through the mouthy, nippy stage and occasionally forgets his manners when he's excited. The good news? He responds well to correction, settles down quickly, and is becoming increasingly motivated by treats and training.<br/><br/>Ham enjoys toys, bones, zoomies, and adventures. He's also known to lovingly "borrow" toys from other dogs, even when he has one of his own. Resource guarding isn't his issue—he just assumes everything belongs to everyone. <br/>His foster family describes him as incredibly sweet with children. He sometimes forgets he's not one of the kids and may accidentally bulldoze through them while playing, but he is gentle at heart and accepts redirection well.<br/><br/>Ham is looking for a family ready to embrace all the fun, chaos, and learning that comes with raising a puppy. Continued training, structure, and positive reinforcement will help him grow into an amazing companion.<br/><br/>- Sweet and affectionate<br/> -Dog friendly<br/> -Great with kids<br/> -Treat motivated and learning quickly<br/> -Playful, curious, and energetic<br/> -Still working on puppy manners and nipping Would love an active home that <br/>can keep him busy<br/><br/>Fenced yard required*<br/><br/>If you're looking for a loyal sidekick who will keep you laughing and fill your home with adventure, Ham might just be your perfect match. <br/>https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TGLR/Dog
