My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**Meet Pumpkin: Your Energetic, Loyal Adventure Buddy (With a Goofy Side!)**

If you're looking for a dog with a zest for life, look no further than Pumpkin! This energetic boy is always ready for the next adventure, and his enthusiasm is truly contagious. Whether it’s playing fetch, going for a hike, or learning new tricks, Pumpkin’s boundless energy and curiosity make him the perfect companion for anyone who loves to be on the move.

Pumpkin is a loyal, “bro” type of dog who will be your best friend through thick and thin. He’s incredibly devoted to his people and loves spending time with his humans. Always up for a game of fetch, Pumpkin has a serious love for toys—and he’s all about the tough, durable ones! If you're thinking of getting him some new playthings, make sure they're strong enough to keep up with his playful spirit. Toys are a fantastic way to engage his mind and body, and they've already helped him learn "sit" and "leave it" in his short time with his foster family. He’s always eager for a training session, especially when toys are involved!

But here's the thing—Pumpkin is a bit of a goofy guy! He’s got a playful, larger-than-life personality and doesn’t always recognize his size. He thinks he's a lap dog and will happily try to curl up on your lap, no matter how big he is! His affectionate nature makes him a lovable companion, but his exuberance and "lap dog" mindset might be a little much for homes with toddlers or small children. He’s a big guy with a big heart, so he may do best in a home with older children or adults who can match his energy and sense of humor.

Though Pumpkin is crate-trained, he’s not the biggest fan of being confined and may whine a bit before settling down. With a little patience, though, he does well in his crate and will soon be content to rest in his cozy space when needed.

One of Pumpkin’s best qualities is his manners around the house. He’s well-behaved when it comes to telling you he needs to go outside, and he’s respectful during mealtime, never begging or being rude when you’re eating. It’s clear he’s a smart and thoughtful boy who’s eager to learn more!

Pumpkin would thrive in a home that matches his energy and love for adventure. Whether it’s a hike in the mountains, a walk in the park, or a fun game of fetch in the backyard, Pumpkin will be right there with you, wagging his tail and ready for action. He’s the epitome of “man’s best friend” and will be your loyal companion through all of life’s adventures.

If you’re looking for an energetic, goofy, fun-loving dog who will be by your side through thick and thin, Pumpkin is the one for you! Get ready for lots of playtime, training sessions, and outdoor adventures with this amazing boy. Just don’t forget to stock up on some strong toys—he’s got a playful side that’s ready to take on anything!
