Hey, I’m Dean! I’m a mix of playful and chill, and I think I’ve got the perfect balance. I love to run around and have fun, but when I’m all tuckered out, there’s nothing better than cuddling up on the bed for a nice, cozy nap.
I’m always excited to meet new people—I’m friendly and curious, and I want to know all about you. I love to explore, sniff things, and rub against things (I guess I’m just a bit of a curious boy). You’ll often catch me rolling on my back and doing little “happy wiggles,” because life is just way too fun to not enjoy every moment!
When I’m playing, my favorite toy is the fishing rod—I love chasing that thing around. But I’m not really interested in spirals or balls. I also love looking out the window, just taking in all the sights and sounds of the world. Sometimes, when I get a bit overwhelmed, I can get a little handsy (I’m still learning how to manage my feelings), but I’m always super gentle and never mean-spirited. Even when I’m a little flustered, I’ll still want to snuggle up next to you because I’m a cuddler at heart.
I really like being petted, and I’ll definitely seek it out! But I also like to keep things on my terms—just give me a little space when I need it, and I’ll come right back to you for more love.
My perfect family is one that has some space for me to run around and play, but also enjoys quiet, cuddle time. It’d be great if you’re patient with me when I get overwhelmed, but I promise I’m always ready to give you love when I’ve had a minute to reset.
So, if you think I’d be a good fit, I can’t wait to meet you and show you just how sweet and silly I am!
