d, great with kids, dogs, and even cats, though he may get a little too excited when his feline friends give him attention!
Einstein is truly special, he’s a proud tripod who recently had a hind leg amputated, and he’s adapted beautifully. Despite a tough start to life, including time spent with a broken leg, he hasn’t let anything dull his spirit. He still runs, plays, and bounds around with joy (often tossing his favorite stuffed toys into the air!), most of the time, you’d hardly notice he’s missing a leg.
This happy, affectionate boy absolutely lives for attention. He’ll roll onto his back with his big paws in the air asking for belly rubs, and he never passes up a chance to soak up love from anyone he meets. He’s submissive and friendly with other dogs, takes corrections well, and would do great in a multi-pet home with continued guidance, especially around giving cats a little space.
Einstein is high-energy and would thrive in an active home that can give him plenty of physical and mental stimulation. He’s currently working through some crate anxiety and separation challenges, likely from his shelter experience, and will need a patient adopter committed to helping him build confidence and feel secure. He can be vocal when kenneled and isn’t the best fit for homes with shared walls.
He does have a gentle sensitivity to raised objects (like thrown sticks or ball launchers), but he’s already making progress with reassurance and consistency.
Einstein is a resilient, joyful pup who’s overcome so much and still greets the world with excitement and love. If you’re looking for a loyal, lively companion and are ready to support his continued growth, Einstein just might be your perfect match.
