My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Cupid! Cupid is a senior Jack Russell Terrier mix who is looking for his perfect match. Why do we say perfect? Well, Cupid can be a little judgmental of people at first, hence his sassy side-eye of a look he is giving in the photos. Reality is, some dogs can be judgmental at first, much like people can be.
Cupid is a dog that enjoys the presence of people he knows and feels more comfortable with. How do you get to that point with Cupid? Patience! Some dogs are quick to make friends and engage with people. Other dogs, like Cupid, prefer people to go slow with him and build trust before you can get to the point of cuddling with him. This is very similar to people, is it not? Well, cuddling may take longer with people, but you get the point. Like Cupid, humans will either be a little cautious of strangers at first and allow slow engagement before fully trusting. Or, like some dogs, people are outgoing and quick to make friends. What we mean is, why judge Cupid for being cautious, when humans are just the same?
Cupid has become friends with team members here with patience, lots of treats, and bonding time. They share that Cupid is playful and loves toys, he has silly quirks, enjoys going for walks, and will lay down beside you to be petted and fall asleep. While Cupid may take a little more time to warm up to you, we promise in the end it is worth it!
We would love to find Cupid his perfect person! Our staff loves him, but like any animal, he deserves a home to call his, a person to call his. If interested, let us know!
