Meet Freedom ? A Gentle Soul Looking for a Safe Haven 🐾
Hi, I'm Freedom ? a calm, low-energy boy with a heart full of love and a soft spot for kind humans.
🦴 My Personality:
I may seem a little shy at first, especially in new places or around unfamiliar people.
But with a little patience, I open up and lean in for affection (literally ? I love to lean against you for pets!).
I'm more of a quiet observer in group settings, and I prefer to hang back and enjoy the peace rather than jump into play.
I?m tolerant and gentle with other dogs 🤗🐕
I am more of a cuddler than a player. 🥰
🌿I do prefer calm environments and gentle introductions 🌿
🐶 With People:
I?m a little cautious at first, but I warm up quickly with gentle handling.
I allow petting all over and will even sit next to you for extra love when I feel safe.
I?m especially good with calm, patient handlers who respect my pace.🐕 With Other Dogs:
I do well with other calm dogs and can coexist peacefully in a group,
though I?m not one to engage in rough-and-tumble play.
I like my space and prefer to explore quietly.
🐕🦺🚶On Leash:
I walk moderately on leash and behave well during handling. 😇
I?m easy to collar and leash, and though I can get a little tense around other dogs,
**I?m learning to navigate those moments with the help of my handlers.**🏡 My Ideal Home:
I'm looking for a calm, loving home where I can continue to build confidence at my own pace.
A quiet environment with patient adopters and possibly a calm canine companion would be perfect for me.
Come meet Freedom and discover the quiet joy of a loyal, loving companion.
