Meet Bashful – the most ironically named dog at the shelter. At 3 years old, there’s nothing shy about this energetic, goofy, ready-for-action pup. From the moment you meet him, he’s full of enthusiasm-jumping up to say hello with pure joy and twirling on leash like he’s training for a doggie dance competition.

Bashful has great potty habits, takes treats with a gentle mouth, and while he pulls a little on walks, he’s not reactive-just excited to get moving and see the world. He’s got lots of energy and thrives on both mental and physical exercise, so if you’re looking for a running buddy, hiking partner, or a student for your next trick-training project, Bashful is your guy.

Unlike some dogs his age, Bashful seems to have missed out on basic training, but we think he’s a natural waiting to happen. He’s smart, eager, and clearly enjoys figuring things out-whether. Bashful loves to please and will do his best to learn new things once he gets focused, always wanting to make his people happy.

Bashful recently had a great time in doggie playgroups with two separate females. He frolicked about in an energetic and ridiculously adorable manner, and he loved splashing in the kiddie pool.

After a good workout, he’s all about the belly rubs and cuddles-the perfect balance of energy and affection. He’s the kind of dog who just needs an outlet for his playful spirit and someone to help him focus all that potential. With his mix of high energy and sweet, affectionate side, Bashful brings joy and warmth wherever he goes.

If you’re looking for a fun-loving, quirky best friend who’s bursting with personality and just waiting to learn, Bashful is more than ready to turn your life into a joyful, tail-wagging adventure.

If you’re interested in learning more about him, please reach out to our volunteer matchmakers at [email protected] with the subject line “Bashful, 262592”.

He is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and will be neutered prior to going home. If you have cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times.
