Pookie’s gentle nature will warm your heart the moment he lays his head in your lap. This sweet boy is not only incredibly affectionate, but he also has a playful side that shines when he’s chasing after his favorite toys. His gentle, loving nature makes him a joy to be around, and he’s the kind of dog who just wants to be close to you, whether it’s for a game or a cuddle. Pookie is great with kids, enjoys the company of other dogs, and is always eager to please, showing his sweet personality to everyone he meets.
At just 8 months old, Pookie has his whole life ahead of him, and he’s ready to share it with a family who will appreciate his playful, smart, and affectionate nature. He’s already neutered, vaccinated, and looking for his forever home where he can be cherished for the gentle soul he is.
