Al Pupchino

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Hi, I’m Al Pupicino! Don’t let the name fool you — I’m not just about good looks and charm (though I have plenty of both). I’m a high-energy pup with a zest for life, lots of curiosity, and a serious love of snuggles. I sleep well through the night, enjoy being held (just not like a baby, thanks), and I’m always up for some couch cuddles after a day of exploring.

As a young dog, I’ve still got a few things to learn — like this whole house-training thing — but I’m a quick study and eager to please. I walk well on a leash, love my meals, and have shown interest in cats without any aggression. I’m playful, a bit silly, and all heart.

HOW AM I WITH DOGS:
No formal notes yet, but previously was very humpy before neutering — that’s improved now! Introductions to other dogs should be done thoughtfully, as I’m still maturing.

HOW AM I WITH CATS:
Curious but non-aggressive — a cat-savvy home could work!

HOW AM I WITH KIDS:
Not assessed yet, but due to my energy and ongoing training needs, a home with older kids or adults only may be best for now.

I KNOW THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS:
Still learning the basics, but I walk well on leash and am eager to learn more.

MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING:
Not house-trained yet, but I sleep well through the night and thrive with routine and structure.

THINGS I LIKE:
Snuggling, food, leash walks, being carried like a football, and being the center of attention.

THINGS I DISLIKE:
Still discovering the world, so I’m taking it all in! Nothing major noted yet.
