You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Are you looking for a dog who is equal parts adventure partner, training buddy, comedian, and professional snuggler? Hi. I’m your guy!<br/><br/>I’m the kind of dog who believes that if you’re going somewhere, I should probably be going too. Hikes? Count me in. Long walks? Absolutely. Road trip? I call shotgun. Patio hangs? Obviously. Training session? Let’s work! Weekend adventure? Where are we going?!<br/><br/>And after all that excitement? I’m ready to clock out and become a full-time couch cuddler.<br/><br/>I’m smart, goofy, affectionate, and VERY into my people. I love having a job, I love learning, and I really love being included in my humans’ lives. I also happen to be pretty good at making people laugh — especially when I’m being my goofy self.<br/><br/>But let’s talk about the important stuff, because I’m not looking for just any human.<br/><br/>I’m a dog who does best with structure, consistency, and clear expectations. Think confident coach meets loving best friend. I like knowing the rules, and I do best when my person follows through with them. If left to make my own decisions, I’ve been known to come up with some questionable ideas. So I need someone who is willing to guide me, advocate for me, and help me make good choices.<br/><br/>I also have a past that my future family needs to understand.<br/><br/>I originally struggled with resource guarding and reactivity toward people and other dogs. But guess what? I put in the work. I attended Badass Dog Training and completed an intensive six-week board-and-train program, and I have made HUGE progress.<br/><br/>I’m more confident. I’m more thoughtful. I have better manners. And perhaps most importantly, I have friends now!<br/><br/>I can successfully navigate the world with continued structure and leadership, and I’m pretty proud of how far I’ve come.<br/><br/>I’m crate trained, know a solid list of commands, and am e-collar conditioned. I genuinely enjoy training and working with my person, so if you’re the kind of human who thinks having a dog with skills is pretty cool, we’re going to get along just fine.<br/><br/>Now, I’m going to be honest about one thing:<br/><br/>I am not a “set it and forget it” dog.<br/><br/>My training isn’t something that gets checked off a list and forgotten about. I need an experienced adopter who understands that training is an ongoing relationship and who is willing to continue giving me the structure, leadership, and communication that help me succeed.<br/><br/>The good news? My future family won't be doing it alone. My adoption comes with sponsored one-on-one sessions with Badass Dog Training, so you'll have support as we continue working together and building an awesome life.<br/><br/>My ideal human is active, confident, committed, and ready to keep learning with me. Someone who can be a little bit of a hard ass when I need it, but who also understands that beneath all my training and adventure skills is a dog who really, really wants to be loved.<br/><br/>I want to be your adventure buddy.<br/><br/>I want to be included.<br/><br/>I want to learn.<br/><br/>I want to make you laugh.<br/><br/>And, after a long day, I want to curl up next to you and probably take up way more of the couch than necessary.<br/><br/>I've already done a lot of the hard work. Now I'm looking for my person — the one who will keep showing up, keep guiding me, and let me be the goofy, loyal, affectionate, adventure-loving dog I was meant to be.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a dog who will keep you moving, keep you laughing, challenge you to be an engaged dog parent, and then absolutely melt into you for a cuddle at the end of the day...<br/><br/>Maybe I'm your guy. ❤ï ̧ â–o We do not adopt to Canada due to border restrictions and breed-specific legislation â–o We adopt & foster locally only ; within an approximately 55 mile radius of Lockport, NY 14094 USA<br/>Adoption donation includes Spay/Neuter, Vaccinations, deworming & flea treatment.
