My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Deftones is a lovable, intelligent, and spirited pup with a heart full of potential! He was sadly dumped at just 4 months old, along with his siblings, but he’s come a long way since then and is ready to find his forever family. As the biggest of the litter, he’s got a big heart to match, and he’s looking for someone who can help him continue his journey of growth and learning.
Deftones is quite the character—he has a cute howl (especially when it's feeding time!) and can be a bit vocal at times, but that's just his way of showing excitement. He’s super smart and already working on mastering basic commands. With a little patience and consistency, he’ll be a fantastic companion! He’d do best with a family or individual who is ready to be patient with him as he continues his puppy training. Deftones is eager to please and just needs a little guidance and structure to shine. This sweet boy loves socializing and would thrive in a home with other pets to play with! He’s got a gentle, fun-loving nature and would make a wonderful companion for a doggy friend who enjoys playtime and cuddles just as much as he does.
If you're looking for a fun, loyal, and adorable pup to join your family, Deftones could be the one for you. Submit an inquiry today to learn more or set up a meet and greet—he’s ready to meet you and start his next chapter with the right family!
