Description:
Meet Santana! Get ready to fall in love with Santana, a phenomenal representative of bully breeds, overflowing with love and ready for adventure! This intelligent, high-energy pup has only been with us a short time, but he’s already mastered his name – a testament to his smarts. Santana's zest for life is infectious. He adores every creature he meets, greeting them with enthusiastic licks, wiggles, and pure joy. His constantly wagging tail is a powerful indicator of his happiness, though shorter humans might need to watch out for its joyful wags! He lights up at the sight of kids and is absolutely ecstatic to see you return, showering you with love after even a short absence. With one ear up and one down, and eyes brimming with excitement, Santana is a gem waiting to find his forever family. This little man is a ball of sunshine, eager to brighten your day. He's got gorgeous cheekbones now, and when he’s fully grown, he’s going to be a stunning dog. Santana thrives on activity and would flourish in a home with a dog friend who can match his playful roughhousing to help burn off his abundant energy. He’s also looking for an active family committed to continuing his basic obedience training and teaching him manners. Santana loves cats, trying to be their best friend with licks and cuddles, so a cat-savvy canine companion is a must! He rarely has accidents in his kennel and sleeps soundly through the night, whether in his crate or snuggled up next to his human in a teenager's bedroom. He already knows "sit" and is working on "down." While he's a jumper when meeting new people (he's just so excited!), with consistent practice, he'll channel his curiosity in all the right ways. Indestructible tug toys, balls, and noisy chew toys are his favorites. If you're a family seeking a loyal, adventurous, and loving companion who will fill your life with rainbow-bright joy, Santana is your guy! Click here to see a video of what a smart, good boy I am!
