My name is Turtle, and I’m a 9-month-old, 40-pound mixed-breed pup with a gentle heart and a love for the outdoors. I may be a little shy, but with the right family, I know I’ll come out of my shell and show my playful side. Toys, bones, treats, and time outside make me happy, and I’m looking for a calm, understanding home where I can feel safe and loved.PersonalityI definitely feel more comfortable around women, and I thrive in a calm environment where I have time to get to know everyone at my own pace. I’d do best with a gentle, patient person—ideally a woman—with a steady, relaxed vibe, especially if she has a confident doggy sibling who can show me the ropes. I’m playful and curious, but I need people who can read my signals and understand when I’m feeling nervous. When I feel rushed or pushed outside my comfort zone, I sometimes show my discomfort. With a family that gives me space to approach things on my terms, I know I’ll build trust and feel more secure.Energy LevelI love the outdoors! Chasing toys and exploring nature are some of my favorite things, so a little time outside each day is important for me. After some fun outdoor time, I’m perfectly happy to settle down and relax indoors.Skills and TrainingI’m proud to say that I’m already house-trained and haven’t had any accidents indoors. I do well in my crate too—it’s my safe place where I feel secure. I’m very food-motivated, so training with treats is a fun and rewarding way for me to learn new things!CompanionshipI get along well with other dogs and would love to have a doggy sibling who’s confident and can help me feel at ease in my new home. With patient guidance and time, I’ll get more comfortable meeting new people, especially if I’m given the space to approach them on my own. My ideal family will understand that I need gentle introductions and will let me take my time building trust.Love and AffectionOnce I feel safe, I’m affectionate, loyal, and eager to bond with my people. I may be a bit shy at first, but I have so much love to give to a family who understands me. With patience and trust, I’ll be your devoted companion for life!Ready to meet me?
