Meet Waffle DD

Meet Waffle! Waffle is young, sweet, playful, and full of personality! He loves other dogs, absolutely adores children, and is a serious snuggler once he feels comfortable. He walks great on a leash, is doing well with potty training, and is working on crate training and building confidence with new people. He’s got that fun young-dog energy—with just a little mischief mixed in. Waffle is ready to find his forever family! MEET WAFFLE Waffle has been a part of our pack for almost 2 weeks now. I fell instantly in love with this tiny guy. He was extremely skittish and fearful of loud sounds, people, and being petted. He instantly loves children. It is so sweet how he loves them (and their toys). Now he loves pets and hardly ever reacts to loud sounds. He loves: *to run and play with other dogs *to seriously snuggle with humans *to chew on toys *to escape fences *treatsThings he does great: *walking on a leash *pottying outside when walked on a scheduleThings we are working on: *choosing an appropriate chew toy (not stealing socks) *not being fearful of strangers *crate trainingWaffle has young dog energy being just one year old. He can be mischievous but so lovable.
