Declan

My story

Meet Declan! This 3-year-old, 57-pound brindle pittie mix is equal parts lovebug, shadow, and goofball—and he’s ready to charm his way into your heart. Declan lives for silly songs, especially if they include his name. Say it in a goofy voice and you’ll be rewarded with full-body wiggles, zoomies, and a prompt rear-end presentation for optimal scratch access. He’s smart, food-motivated, and knows an impressive list of commands and tricks including: sit, stay, down, leave it, drop it, come, up, off, paw, spin, and even “under.” Declan loves training sessions almost as much as he loves treats. At home, he’s a curious companion who wants to be wherever the action is. Whether you’re unpacking boxes, rearranging furniture, or just moving from room to room, Declan is always ready to supervise with his sniffer on high alert. While he can entertain himself with toys, Declan prefers interactive play like tug, toy toss, or food puzzles with his people nearby. He’s mostly a chill guy, lounging quietly between brief bursts of playfulness—and don’t worry, he won’t be the one waking you up early. He’s a dream of a morning dog, content to stay curled up until you’re ready to start the day. Declan enjoys his walks and is working on polite leash manners. He walks well in calm settings, but his prey drive kicks in for squirrels and cats, and he can get overexcited when passing other dogs. He’s making great progress with continued training and support. This sweet guy is a cuddle pro and truly believes he’s a lapdog. He melts into affection and loves napping next to (or on) his people. He’s also a social butterfly on walks—he’s always thrilled when someone wants to say hello, though he’s still learning to keep all four paws on the ground.
