Stetson🔗

Notes from listing

Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending! Hi! My name is Stetson, and I'm a sweet, sensitive little guy with a big heart and lots of love to give. I might seem a little shy when we first meet. New people, loud noises, and busy environments can make me nervous, so I like to take a moment to watch and make sure everything feels safe. But once I get comfortable and learn the routine, I truly blossom into the happiest, most loving companion you could ask for. My favorite place in the world? Right on your lap. I'm a total cuddle bug and love being close to my people. I'll happily curl up with you for snuggles, but I'm also a playful little guy who enjoys toys and having fun with the people I trust. I'm a bit goofy too, which means I can make you laugh while we play together. I'm very eager to please and already know some helpful words like "come," "outside," "quiet," and "go potty." I'm potty trained and will use both potty pads and go outside like a good boy. I do best in a calm home where things aren't too loud or chaotic. Little kids and lots of commotion can feel overwhelming to me, but gentle adults or older, considerate kids are much more my speed. Once I feel safe, I'll love you with my whole heart and want to be by your side as much as possible. Leashes are still pretty confusing for me-I tend to freeze up when I'm on one-so I'll need a secure fenced yard where I can safely go outside and explore. I can also get a little vocal in my crate at first, but with patience and a consistent routine, I settle down. Even though I can be timid with new things, I'm truly a happy little boy at heart. I love to play, cuddle, and spend time with my people. When I feel safe and loved, my sweet personality shines through. If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who will adore you, cuddle with you, and be your loyal little shadow, I might just be the perfect match. I promise that once I trust you, I'll love you with my whole heart. **Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work! Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter's expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. T his puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours, or your application will be considered void. We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion. Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee. Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is to place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn't meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application. We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
