Woof! Hey there, hoomans! I'm Thaddeus, but you can just call me Thad. Let me tell you a bit about myself.

Every day, I'm here in my kennel, patiently watching as folks stroll by. I give them my best puppy eyes, hoping someone will notice me. You see, I'm an all-around heck of a guy, or at least that's what my friends here tell me.

I've been waiting for my forever people for what feels like forever. I'm a pro at being a work-from-home companion, happy to nap away to the sound of keyboard clicks. Did I mention I’m also house trained and crate trained! I love learning new things and am eager to show you. Puzzles, toys, treats—I'm all in. I even posed like a champ for those studio photos.

I love being with my humans; it's my favorite thing in the whole wide world! Outdoors? Oh yeah, count me in for an adventure. I've got stamina and agility—I'd make a great running buddy if you're into that sort of thing. I've been surrounded by barking dogs while I have been growing up in the shelter, so I'm ready to be the solo star in your heart. And that’s okay because I know my forever humans will understand that.

I've got a sensitive side, you know. I'm not just your average pup in a kennel. I've been giving my best every day, one paw in front of the other, hoping that someone will see past the shelter life and into the loving, silly, and slightly exuberant dog that I am.

So, what do you say? Ready to make me your best friend until the ends of the earth? I promise, I'll give you all the good energy and love you could ever need. Let's make some memories together! Woof woof!

If you’d like to meet Thad, his volunteer advocates would love to introduce him to you.
