Samba

This sweet 4‑month‑old Goldendoodle mix is a playful, affectionate puppy who loves cuddles, attention, and being around his people. He is mostly potty-trained and is learning quickly with gentle guidance. He walks on a harness, enjoys toys and short play sessions, and responds really well to positive reinforcement. He can be shy when meeting new people and may whimper a bit when left alone, but he warms up fast and is eager to bond. With his soft coat, loving personality, and curious, happy energy, he will make a wonderful companion for a family who can give him time, patience, and consistency as he continues to grow and learn. He’s a truly good-natured, gentle pup looking for a safe, caring home where he can thrive.

What criteria are important to you when considering an adoptive family or home for your pet?: He would thrive in a home where he receives consistent time, attention, and gentle training, as he is still a young puppy learning potty, leash, and basic commands.
