Sven

My story

Hi, I’m Sven — the shy guy with a big heart!I’m still learning that the world isn’t as scary as it looks, so slow introductions and gentle encouragement are my jam. When in doubt, I’d rather dash than clash, but once I trust you, mornings turn into playful cuddle-fests.My happy place: hanging on the deck with a chew, romping with dog pals, and staging epic “tag” matches with the resident puppy. I’m polite with seniors, gentle with the littles, and I nap tucked safely behind a chair or under a table.Still a work-in-progress: collars, leashes, and venturing beyond the yard. Kids moving fast or getting too close make me nervous, so a calm, adult (or teen) household is best.I’d do best on a quiet farm or acreage, where I have space to roam and a peaceful environment to help build my confidence at my own pace.Wish list• Secure fenced yard• Confident canine buddy to show me the ropes• Patient people who’ll celebrate every brave stepNeed-to-knows• Kennel trained: No• House trained: Mostly• Dogs: Yes• Cats: Likely fine• Children: Older only?? Adoption fee: Just $100!If you’ve got time, space, and a whole lot of heart, I might just be your perfect project pup
