Pee Wee is the sweetest, most loyal boy. I love him so much, but he deserves a home that better fits his needs.
Pee Wee is a cuddle bug who loves being close to his people. He enjoys going on walks, lounging in the sun, and is happiest spending time with his people. He also gets along well with other dogs and would likely do great in a home with another friendly dog since he enjoys companionship.
Pee Wee has anxiety around unfamiliar people. He bonds deeply with his family, but strangers make him nervous. When new people come into the home he may bark and shake becuase of anxiety and fear. He truly is the perfect dog when he is outdoors or in his home with his family. His anxiety only arises when strangers enter the home. He would be happiest in a calm home with fewer visitors and a predictable routine where he can feel safe.
I am looking for someone who understands that some dogs require extra patience and the right environment to thrive. He has so much love to give and deserves a family that will love him as much as I do. Please reach out with any questions!
