Swaba's Story

Hello there! My name is Swaba, and I’m a sweet, playful boy with tons of energy and love to share. I absolutely adore playing tug with my humans, chasing my doggy friends around the yard, and turning any toy into a fun game. Zoomies, wrestling, or a spirited game of fetch...if it’s fun, I’m all in!<br/><br/>I also love going for walks and am excellent on leash, exploring the world with curiosity and excitement.<br/><br/>I can be anxious at times, especially during thunderstorms, but being indoors where the noise is muffled helps me feel much safer. I also have a history of nipping, so I need a home without young children and with someone who understands my boundaries and can continue to help me feel secure and confident.<br/><br/>Even with my worries, I’m a total cuddlebug who loves kisses, attention, and snuggles with the people I trust.<br/><br/>If you’re ready for a playful, affectionate, and adventurous companion, please put in an application—I can’t wait to meet you!<br/><br/>I am up-to-date on vaccines, neutered, dewormed, microchipped, and heartworm negative.<br/>The cost to adopt is $250 and the adoption process begins with an Adoption Application that is located at: www.faithfulfriendsnc.org/adopt<br/>Once your completed application has been reviewed the humans will contact you with questions and/or set an appointment for you to meet me. Thank you! Please read all guidelines before sending in an application. Do not reach out to the sanctuary about the status of your application, we will contact you if we are interested in setting up an appointment..
