My story

🪖 “Lieutenant Dan! Ice cream!” 🪖 No shrimp boat required — just a couch, some snacks, and a heart ready for unconditional love. Meet Lieutenant Dan (aka Dan the Man), a 60-lb velvet pillow who has seen some things but still believes life is like a box of chew toys — you never know what you’re gonna get, but it’s probably adorable. Dan may not run across America, but he walks like a dream on leash, is house-trained, crate-trained, and has officially mastered the art of being a proper Southern gentleman. He’s calm, sweet, and prefers cuddles over chaos. This is not a ping-pong-chasing lifestyle dog. This is a lean back, watch the world go by kind of guy. When Lieutenant Dan puts his big paws on you, it’s basically his way of saying: 👉 “I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is.” He’s: 🍦 Friendly with other dogs (slow intros please — Bubba would insist) 🍦 Great with kids 🍦 A champion cuddler and elite people-pleaser 🍦 Unsure about cats (still waiting to meet one… probably would ask their name politely) Loud noises make him a little nervous, and sometimes he worries he’s in trouble — his past wasn’t kind — but his heart? Pure sunshine. All he wants is to make you proud, love you fiercely, and maybe sit next to you while you tell him he’s a good boy approximately 400 times a day. Lieutenant Dan is ready for his happy ending, his new mission, and his forever home. And unlike the movie… this Dan actually does have legs — and they’re great for snuggling. 💛 Ready to enlist this hero into your life? 💛 Ready to enlist this hero into your life?

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Lieutenant Dan, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
