Evan

My story

Evan is an 8-year-old gentleman with a heart full of love and a calm, confident presence. He is treat-motivated and already knows how to “sit,” showing a clear eagerness to learn and connect with people. He came to the shelter due to no fault of his own when his former owner could no longer care for him. They loved him very much and described him as a snuggle bug who loves walks and naps. In his former home he was exposed to both kids and cats and did well. He walks well on a leash and truly enjoys spending time outdoors—especially when he gets to explore trails and follow his nose to all the best smells. After doing his business, he’s been known to throw in a few happy kicks, just to let you know he’s feeling good.He’s showing strong signs of being house-trained and has great manners. Evan also absolutely loves back scratches, often wiggling with joy when he gets a good one while lying in the grass. This sweet, affectionate boy is the perfect combination of laid-back and playful. Evan is ready to leave the shelter behind and find a home where he can enjoy the simple things: good walks, good company, and lots of love.Evan recently had a fun-filled Dog’s Day Out at Patapsco State Park, and he had a blast taking in all the sights—and especially all the smells! This curious boy was gentle, energetic, and a great hiking buddy. He walked beautifully on leash the entire time, making him a joy to explore with. While he was a bit cautious around water at first, Evan got braver as the hike went on, showing his sweet mix of curiosity and courage. He did well passing on the trail with people, dogs, and kids.Evan recently went on another Dog’s Day Out adventure, and he was the perfect gentleman! He stopped by Petco for some fun and treats, then enjoyed a well-deserved pup cup before taking in the sights and smells along the waterfront.
