My story

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

My foster writes: Meet Safari, the dog with the gaze that could stop traffic, but a heart that could melt butter. Don't be fooled by his intense, soulful eyes and furrowed brow-behind that serious expression is a big, goofy cuddle bug just waiting to snuggle you into oblivion. If you're sitting on the couch, he's not just content to sit next to you-he must be touching you, if not sitting directly on top of you. (Personal space? What's that?)
Safari is the ultimate co-pilot in your day-to-day adventures. If you're looking at something, you can bet he's right there, squinting at it too, even if he has no idea what it is. As for fetch? Well, let's just say he has the coordination of a baby giraffe on roller skates-he's enthusiastic, if not particularly graceful. But his awkwardness? Adorable. His happy-go-lucky attitude will keep you laughing, whether or not the ball ever gets returned.
Safari is a gentleman with people and a pro at making dog friends. He plays nicely with every dog he meets and has the perfect blend of chill and charm. Think of him as a turnkey "house hippo"-content to lounge around, be your best buddy, and bring an extra dose of joy to your life. If you want a goofy, sweet, full-time snuggle buddy, Safari is your guy!

My other foster writes: Safari is a playful boy with lots of energy. When he gets older, he'll be ready to go out on runs and loves playing fetch. He's super playful and will open up to new people almost instantaneously. Safari would do best with an adopter that is open to working on his house training and separation anxiety.

What my friends at ACC say about me:


My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet!


I would do best in a home without very tiny humans, although I could be open to older human children once I meet them.


I am playful and cute!
