Travis

My story

Approximate Age: 3 years Approximate Weight: 26 lbs Meet Travis! This sweet little guy is the definition of a velcro dog—he wants to be wherever his person is. Travis is adjusting beautifully in his foster home and has been nothing but a joy to have around. ● Total sweetheart who thrives on human connection ● Velcro pup: sticks close and wants to be your shadow ● Dog-friendly: a little unsure around big dogs at first but warms up ● Crate-trained (sleeps through the night if he's near you!) ● Loves mealtime and snacks—food is definitely the way to his heart ● Good house manners (a few marking accidents, hopeful to resolve after neuter) ● Walks nicely on leash ● Baths and nail trims? No problem! ● Protective bark when someone new enters, but not aggressive Travis came to us with some old wounds and a little ear nick—likely signs of a rough past—but his spirit is nothing but kind and hopeful. He’s looking for a home where he can feel safe, loved, and never far from your side. Rescue Story: This dog was rescued from a large-scale hoarding situation where they lived outdoors with minimal human contact, inadequate shelter, and limited access to food and clean water. While they are now safe and beginning to learn what it means to be loved and cared for, they may need time, patience, and gentle guidance to adjust to life in a home. Their resilience is incredible, and with the right support, they have the potential to thrive.
