My story

🪖 “Lieutenant Dan! Ice cream!” 🪖 No shrimp boat required — just a couch, some snacks, and a heart ready for unconditional love. Meet Lieutenant Dan (aka Dan the Man), a 60-lb velvet pillow who has seen some things but still believes life is like a box of chew toys — you never know what you’re gonna get, but it’s probably adorable. Dan may not run across America, but he walks like a dream on leash, is house-trained, crate-trained, and has officially mastered the art of being a proper Southern gentleman. He’s calm, sweet, and prefers cuddles over chaos. This is not a ping-pong-chasing lifestyle dog. This is a lean back, watch the world go by kind of guy. When Lieutenant Dan puts his big paws on you, it’s basically his way of saying: 👉 “I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is.” He’s: 🍦 Friendly with other dogs (slow intros please — Bubba would insist) 🍦 Great with kids 🍦 A champion cuddler and elite people-pleaser 🍦 Unsure about cats (still waiting to meet one… probably would ask their name politely) Loud noises make him a little nervous, and sometimes he worries he’s in trouble — his past wasn’t kind — but his heart? Pure sunshine. All he wants is to make you proud, love you fiercely, and maybe sit next to you while you tell him he’s a good boy approximately 400 times a day. Lieutenant Dan is ready for his happy ending, his new mission, and his forever home. And unlike the movie… this Dan actually does have legs — and they’re great for snuggling. 💛 Ready to enlist this hero into your life? 💛 Ready to enlist this hero into your life? Apply here: Peace Love and Paws Rescue 👉 https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster... Run, don’t walk — Lieutenant Dan is waiting. 🐾💛

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Lieutenant Dan, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
