Hello friends! I'm Star, a 6-year-old looking for my forever family. I prefer dogs my size and adore my foster sisters, but no small dogs, cats, or children under 12, please. While my crate is not my best friend, I am learning to love it because it means food, which I adore. I bond quickly and would thrive in a home where we can be together most of the time. I am highly intelligent and learn quickly, so I need a savvy adopter who understands me. I do best with a routine, which helps me feel safe and happy. My foster family says I am the best snuggler, and I dream of cuddling and never feeling lonely again. Could you be my forever home?

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Hi! My name is Navy, nicknamed Little Hippo because I am super cute and I snore when I sleep! I am a male pup around 1 year and 5 months old, and I am very smart! I can perform all the basic commands. I am friendly with people, kids, dogs, cats, and other animals. Despite a challenging start with a broken leg and two surgeries, I have shown resilience, though I have had moments of nipping due to pain. I enjoy walks and excel on a leash, patiently waiting for meals and understanding my place for rest. With lots of energy, I love playing fetch, doing zoomies, and chewing on toys and bones. I am also a snuggle enthusiast, enjoying car rides and cuddling in laps. While I do well with adults, a home without young children would be best, and I may thrive as the only pet due to some concerns about living with other dogs. Could you be my forever family?
