Meet Tiramisu!
This gentle, young pup has had a rough start in life-passed from place to place before finally landing here at the shelter. Understandably, all the change has left Tiramisu feeling uncertain and overwhelmed, especially in the noisy kennel environment. But underneath that hesitation is a sweet and sensitive soul waiting to blossom with the right support. He's not yet sure how to play, and currently shows little interest in toys. Tiramisu recently met a smaller, social male dog and did quite well with slow, respectful introductions. As the meeting progressed, he gained some confidence and engaged in friendly dog body language. Because of this, we recommend a dog meet if you have another pup at home! Tiramisu will thrive in a calm and patient home, and we recommend a family introduction to make sure everyone feels comfortable. Working with a positive-reinforcement trainer will be a great way to help Tiramisu continue building confidence and learning to navigate the world with trust. If you have the heart and patience to help this sweet boy find his footing, Tiramisu may just be your perfect companion.
