Hi! My name is Hiru – but my foster family calls me Peter (as in Peter Pan, because they never want me to grow up and I’m okay staying this cute forever). I’m a 10-week-old Pittie/Shepherd mix with soft puppy fur, sweet soulful eyes, and the snuggliest heart you’ve ever met. I came into rescue from Texas with my siblings, and while I love to play and explore, my absolute favorite thing in the world is cuddling up with my foster mom. I’m the kind of pup who melts into your arms and just wants to be close at all times.
I’m still working on potty training and kennel training – pretty standard stuff for a pup my age. I’m doing my best and making great progress, but I’ll definitely need a patient forever family to keep up the routine and help me learn. What can I say, I just want to snuggle with my people in bed and go everywhere with them! I’m food motivated (treats, please!) and I respond well to gentle redirection when I get a little too mouthy or distracted.
I live with other dogs in my foster home and I love them so much! One of them is my best friend and I am always playing with her and cuddling up to her on the couch. I follow them around, learn from them, and feel so much more confident with them by my side. I also live with some cats, they’re ok too. I enjoy playtime but honestly, my heart is happiest when I’m curled up next to someone I love or my foster dog sibling.
My perfect home would have another dog to help guide me and people who are ready to spend lots of quality time with me – playing, snuggling, and helping me grow into a well-rounded pup. I wouldn’t do well somewhere that I would have to be in a kennel all day, I’m very loud and don’t want to be alone. I’d thrive with a family who understands that training takes time and patience, but also sees how rewarding it is to raise a pup who loves you with his whole heart. If you’re looking for a confident, tender, and loyal little shadow who just wants to be your best friend, I might be your guy!
