Ivan can get excited and may jump when he's happy, so he's best suited for a home without very young children. He's currently learning that “sit calmly = happy humans + treatos,” and he's making progress. Continued training will help him shine.<br/><br/>Bonus: Ivan comes with two professional training sessions to help set him and his new family up for success!<br/><br/>Ivan is a boy with a heart of gold who will love you beyond measure. He deserves a patient, loving human who will give him structure, guidance, head kisses (his favorite), and all the affection he so freely gives in return.<br/><br/>If you're ready for a loyal shadow, a couch companion, and a best friend who leans in close, Ivan is ready for you.<br/><br/>Apply today through Paws Across Pittsburgh (KL 16182) and give this sweet boy the forever home he's been waiting for.
