My story

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

Machine Head and his siblings were found dumped at just 4 months old, showing signs of neglect. Despite his rough start, Machine Head is now thriving, healthy, and ready for the next chapter of his life. He’s a sweet-tempered and affectionate pup, full of potential and eager to find a loving forever home. Machine Head would do wonderfully in a family with older children or with other dogs. He’s social, friendly, and enjoys being around other animals. Although he hasn’t been around cats, he may do well with a careful introduction. He loves attention and affection, and while he can be a little timid at times, his confidence is growing every day. Machine Head is highly intelligent and is quickly mastering basic commands. He’s almost fully potty trained and has made great progress thanks to frequent opportunities to go outside. When accidents happen, he knows to go on his puppy pads. He sleeps quietly in his designated space at night, and his favorite sleeping position is on his back with his legs up in the air—how cute is that?

Machine Head would thrive in a home with a yard where he can come and go freely throughout the day. A regular routine, plenty of playtime, and lots of chew toys to satisfy his teething phase are all key to his continued growth and happiness. Raising a young dog like Machine Head is a rewarding experience, and he’s sure to be a wonderful companion for a family or individual who can offer him structure, love, and attention. If you think Machine Head could be the perfect addition to your family, we’d love to hear from you! Submit an inquiry to learn more or to set up a meet-and-greet.
