Description:
✨ Meet Garrett! ✨ Garrett is an amazing dog with a huge heart and an equally big zest for life. He has been deeply loved, and his family is devastated to rehome him—they're moving out of the country. This loyal, high-energy boy has been a constant companion, “nurse,” and best friend to his family. He’s happiest when he’s with his people, going for walks, or enjoying active time together. Garrett would thrive in a home that loves outdoor adventures, long walks, or even jogs. ❤️ Personality & Temperament • Loving, loyal, and deeply bonded to his humans • High energy — needs regular exercise and enrichment • Loves being part of the family and staying close to his people • Has great house manners — house trained and sleeps peacefully in his dog bed • Not crate trained, but has never needed one in his current home Dog & Cat Compatibility Dogs: Generally good with most dogs, but he can be selective. Best to meet new dogs in a neutral location: Should not go to dog parks or uncontrolled dog-heavy environments. Cats: Yes! He has successfully lived with a cat for years. Leash Walking & Reactivity Garrett walks well on a leash but can be leash reactive when he sees unfamiliar dogs. He responds very well to “watch,” “leave it,” and treats when the person walking him is attentive. Someone experienced with confident, energetic dogs will do great with him. Kids & Home Environment • Wonderful with children — he has grown up with a child who is now 5 • Apartment friendly as long as his exercise needs are met • Good eater — not a resource guarder, but may sneak snacks if given the chance! Ideal Home Garrett would be happiest with: • An active person or family • Someone confident handling higher-energy, stronger dogs • A household that enjoys long walks, hikes, or runs • A home where he can be close to his people • Potentially with another dog, if properly introduced, and not with a resource-guarding dog He is trained in the basics (sit, wait, down, shake), affectionate, eager to please, and truly wants nothing more than to be someone’s best friend. Garrett will make an active, loving household incredibly happy.
