Victor.

Victor is a sensitive and gentle soul who is looking for a very special place to call home. At 5 years old, he is a quiet boy who is absolutely full of love once he knows he can trust you. While the world can feel a bit overwhelming for him at first, Victor has shown our team that beneath his shy exterior is a dog who truly loves to cuddle and sit on a friendly lap for comfort. The Perfect Home EnvironmentVictor is looking for a quiet, adult-only sanctuary in a peaceful location where he can settle at his own pace. He can be prone to panicking in new or busy situations, so a calm environment is key to helping him feel secure. Because he has a bit of a chase drive, he would prefer a home without cats but homes with owners experienced in handling dogs and cats together will be considered.A Real "Ladies' Man"We have noticed that Victor bonds particularly well with female handlers and can be wary or take longer to interact with men. He looks for comfort in those he trusts, often choosing to sit right next to his favorite people or "hiding" in their arms for a snuggle when he feels a bit brave. He is looking for an experienced owner—specifically someone who understands shy dogs—who can offer him the patience and time he needs to truly blossom.The Best of Both Worlds When it comes to other dogs, Victor is quite the socialite! He has spent lovely days exploring gardens and playing happily with his doggy pals like Stanley. Victor could live as the only dog in the home, be adopted with his friend Stanle or be paired with a calm and quiet resident dog. Because he has a bit of a "chase" instinct, he is looking for a home without any feline friends but homes experienced in handling both dogs and cats in the same environment will be considered.He is working on his "puppy manners" and walking on a lead. While he was initially nervous about equipment, he has recently made amazing strides and is starting to enjoy his walks on a harness and lead. He is very food-motivated, which is a fantastic way to win his heart, though he’s still learning to take treats gently!If you have a quiet home and a lot of love to give, Victor is ready to be your most loyal, lap-warming companion. With a little time and a lot of patience, this sweet boy will be your best friend for life.
