My name is Pizza!

Pizza is a beautiful, affectionate dog who loves attention and being close to his people. He’s incredibly sweet and loyal, often seeking your approval when outdoors—it’s truly heartwarming! He enjoys cuddling, belly rubs, and will even use his nose to nudge your hand onto him for some extra comfort. Pizza also loves to snuggle up in bed with our kids and is always looking to be near someone he trusts.

While Pizza is very loving, he can be shy and reserved when first meeting new people, especially men. He needs some time and space to feel safe. A patient family who understands his need to retreat and adjust at his own pace would be a great match for him. Having a confident dog sibling will really help boost his confidence. Right now, he’s scared of cats, but that might change over time with a slow introduction.

Pizza is a wonderful companion who will thrive in a calm, understanding home that gives him the time he needs to feel comfortable. Once he feels secure, his loving and cuddly personality will really shine.
