PTOLEMEE

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 7 years

Ptolémée is a dynamic dog deeply attached to humans and very affectionate! An explorer and attentive on walks, he is an enthusiastic companion who just wants to learn and share tender and intimate moments with his family. A charming little one, full of goodwill and life! Arrived from a shelter, Ptolémée found a way to be heard and express his need for attention through barking. Work is in progress to help him regulate his emotions and communicate differently, and he is making progress! He will need a patient and present family capable of continuing this learning with him. Still learning to settle down and sometimes uncomfortable with handling, he would ideally be placed without young children. He cannot live with cats, and cohabitation with other dogs will be on a case-by-case basis. Ptolémée has all the potential to become a wonderful companion… A cuddly little one waiting for you!

About PTOLEMEE

What life with PTOLEMEE looks like
