Cleats

My story

Meet Cleats, a loyal, medium-energy companion who is looking for a patient and understanding adult-only home to call his own. Once Cleats knows and trusts you, he is the ultimate cuddle bug. He loves to be held like a baby and will even dance on his hind legs to show you how happy he is! He has an excellent "off-switch" and is always ready to relax and lay down with you after playtime. His absolute favorite activities include going for car rides, taking neighborhood strolls, and playing fetch with his ball in the yard. Inside the home, Cleats has excellent house manners. He is potty-trained, letting you know he needs to go outside by acting visibly excited. He shows no signs of separation anxiety and is not destructive. When left alone, he does perfectly fine roaming loose with other respectful dogs and will usually just sleep the day away. While he treats an open crate as a comfortable, quiet safe space during the day, at night he prefers his favorite spot: snuggled right in bed with you. When it comes to grooming, he handles home baths and trims well, though he can be a little sensitive about mats and knots. Because Cleats is shy and wary of strangers, he needs a savvy owner who can advocate for his space and manage introductions safely. He can become defensive, growling or nipping if an unfamiliar person tries to touch or approach him unexpectedly, and he is uncomfortable around children. Cleats currently lives with other dogs and gets along well with them. Cleats does like to chase his feline foster siblings from time to time but he is capable of adjusting to a dog-savvy cat. While he might chase at first, he eventually bonds deeply and will happily share the bed with his feline roommates. *2 years old *9 lbs. of cuteness *Neutered, UTD on vaccines and microchipped *Dog and Cat friendly *NO CHILDREN *Potty trained *Non destructive when left out APPLY TODAY: https://peaceloveandpawsrescue.com/adopt%2Ffoster-application
