My story

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

Meet Cullen, a charming five-year-old who's recently joined APA and is ready to meet his new friends-be sure to give him a warm hello! While he may not be a puppy anymore, Cullen's medium energy level keeps him active and eager for fun. He loves going on walks, taking car rides, and splashing around in kiddie pools.

Cullen is a smart cookie who already knows commands like "sit," "stay," and "come." His intelligence shines through, and he's a playful yet laid-back companion who adores treats, petting, and cuddles. He's also a fan of other dogs and is an excellent communicator, often checking in with his handler through meaningful eye contact.

Although Cullen may be a bit shy around new people and unfamiliar situations, he's quick to warm up once he feels comfortable. A calm, low-traffic home with mature kids, such as teenagers, would be perfect for him. Slow introductions will help him adjust and realize that new faces can become friends.

If you're looking for a sweet, intelligent dog with a loving heart, ask about Cullen today! He's eager to find a forever home where he can feel safe and cherished.
