Meet Humphrey! This sweet 7-month-old shepherd mix is looking for a loving, patient home. Humphrey bonds deeply and is happiest when snuggled close, enjoying gentle pets and quiet company. He feels safe in his crate, sleeps soundly in his foster's bedroom, and is making progress with nighttime potty routines.
Humphrey is timid and shy around around men upon meeting—he will bark and run away if approached—so he truly needs a person who is patient and can work on building his trust. Eventually he will warm up to a male companion and cuddle up for pets and belly rubs. While he’s shy and can be overwhelmed easily, Humphrey is not a noisy boy and prefers calm, stable environments. He has been good with other dogs, though a bit timid at first, and shows steady progress with socialization.
Humphrey loves treats and is learning the basics, but like any curious puppy, he needs reminders to keep everything out of his mouth! He would thrive in a home with children 6 years and older, where he can continue to build confidence at his own pace. Humphrey’s gentle heart and loyal spirit will shine with a loving person by his side.
Medical note: Humphrey has a retained baby canine tooth that might need veterinary care if it doesn’t fall out on its own.
If you have a nurturing heart, and a need for a devoted companion, Humphrey is ready to be your loving friend for life
