My story

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

Hey there, I'm Wahoo, and I'm thrilled to introduce myself to you. I'm a bundle of energy with a good mix of liveliness and a chill side. Let me give you a glimpse into who I am.

When it comes to meeting new people, I'm always excited and interested. There's something about new faces and the potential for new adventures that gets me all fired up. I'm a friendly and sociable pup who loves making new human friends.

Being petted is one of my absolute favorite things. I actively seek out those gentle strokes and affectionate attention because it makes me feel loved and connected. I'm a social pup who craves human interaction, although I do appreciate having a bit of personal space or being pet on my terms.

I have a lot of favorite things, but food and treats top the list. I absolutely love them! Additionally, I enjoy playing with stuffed animals, toys that squeak or crinkle, and tennis balls. I'm teething right now, so chew toys are also a hit for me. When it's time to catch some Z's, I head straight to my cushioned dog bed, where I feel cozy and content. Outdoor playtime is another favorite of mine, especially when the sun is shining, and I can indulge in some sunbathing. Socializing with other dogs is something I thoroughly enjoy, as it allows me to engage in play and make new furry friends.

While I love most things, car rides aren't my favorite. They make me a little stressed, so anything that can help alleviate that stress, like toys or flavored chews, would be greatly appreciated. I'm an attention-loving pup who enjoys one-on-one playtime with my humans. I like to be near you at all times and have eyes on you. When we're sitting on the couch or bed together, I adore cuddling and absolutely love belly rubs. I haven't been on many walks yet, but I have a feeling I would learn to love long walks to help release all my extra energy.

What makes me special is that I know my name! When you sweet talk me and call my name, I immediately want to grab your attention by rubbing against your leg or waiting eagerly for belly rubs. I'm always excited to see what you want or ready to engage in play. I must admit, I can be a bit clumsy when I play, and I might trip or tumble occasionally. But that never stops me from having a blast, as I quickly bounce back up, unaware that I fell in the first place. Oh, and one more thing- I grunt a lot, and it's just so cute! I can't explain why, but it's one of my endearing quirks. Sometimes, I even like to be carried like a baby. It's just another way for me to feel close and connected to my humans.

The perfect family for me would be an active one, ready to meet my energy level and fulfill my playtime needs. I'll require a family that is dedicated to training me and helping me grow out of my mouthy play since I'm young and have an insatiable desire to play all the time. I'll need your attentiveness and the ability to provide me with the attention I crave, as I don't enjoy being alone or not knowing you're around.

If you're looking for an active, fun-loving, friendly, and curious companion, I could be the perfect fit for your family. Together, we can embark on exciting adventures, engage in playtime, and create a bond that will last a lifetime. I can't wait to find my forever family who will provide me with the love, attention, and active lifestyle I need to thrive.
