I might be a bit cautious when we first meet, but it doesn't take long for me to warm up and show you my true playful nature. Once I feel comfortable and safe, you'll see that I'm full of energy and enthusiasm. I absolutely love playing, especially if it involves chasing balls or toys. A good-sized yard would be fantastic for me so I can run around freely, explore, and maybe even learn some cool tricks along the way.   I love playing with other dogs and have even made friends with the resident cat.   I do well in the crate and am mostly potty trained.   While I enjoy my playtime, I also have a softer side. I'm a snuggly pup who adores cuddling up with my favorite humans. I find comfort and happiness in their presence, and I hope to find a family who loves snuggles as much as I do. Oh, and did I mention treats? They're my absolute favorite! I'm highly motivated to learn and would be thrilled to show off my growing skills for some tasty rewards.   I'm also working on improving my leash manners. With a little patience and guidance, I'm becoming more comfortable walking on a leash, and I'm eager to explore the world alongside my new family.  I am being fostered near Raleigh, NC. If you would like to add me to your family, please reach out to your adoption coordinator.
