LENTIL - SPRINGER SPANIEL / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Springer Spaniel / Mixed (short coat). Hi there! I’m Lentil, a 3-year-old male Springer mix and a sensitive soul who is just waiting to become your "heart dog." I’m a smart cookie with excellent house manners; I’m already neutered, potty trained, and very eager to please, which makes me a breeze to train. I know a bunch of commands like touch, sit, lay down, and paw, but my personal favorite is "sit pretty." I’m a true gentleman who waits for a release cue at the door, and I walk beautifully on a leash, always paying close attention to your cues. I'll also politely give you my paws to wipe clean when I come back inside. Life with me is all about companionship—I’m a loyal shadow who will follow you from room to room, and I absolutely love going for car rides, getting back scratches, and exploring the great outdoors. While I am kennel trained and often go into my "safe space" on my own when I need a break, I am perfectly behaved when you’re away and through the night if left out. At bedtime, my favorite spot is right on the floor next to your bed so I can be near you. I have a lower-moderate energy level; I love my walks and playing with my tennis ball, but I also have a sensitive side and am perfectly happy just lounging near you while you go about your day. Because I’m so in tune with everything around me, I can sometimes get a little excitable or anxious, but I take a small daily medication to help build my confidence. I do best when my human stays calm and confident to help me settle back down, so I’m looking for a calmer home with adults or older, respectful kids. I’m quite respectful with other dogs and would enjoy a calm, confident canine sibling or being your one and only. I should mention that I'm a bit too interested in trying to play with cats, so I need a home without feline or small animal friends. I might not be the life of the party, but once we bond, I’ll be your most devoted companion and heart dog. Are you the match I’ve been looking for? I'm ready to start our journey together! Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
