Waffles

Waffles needs a forever home

Waffles is an energetic 1&1/2 year old sweet and loving boy. He loves female humans, toys, walks, and sniffing outside. He takes treats nicely and gently and is highly motivated to earn them. He would love someone to run with too. He needs to be the only dog/pet. He needs a safe space to call his own like a kennel or bedroom. He is shy with people he doesn’t know but warms up quickly with a treat and letting him come to you. He needs a loving, patient, and positive new owner. He likes having a doggy door to a fenced backyard. He would benefit from more training to have better manners. He usually does fine in a large dog park with others as long as everyone has enough space. He prefers to follow the human around.
