Meet Echo, a happy-go-lucky pooch with a heart of gold and an absolute joy to be around!

A social butterfly, Echo is a fan favorite at adoption events, with all passersby. He will sit on your foot while getting petted, plus, he gives great hugs! At home, he enjoys the company of both humans and other animals, particularly cats. While he can share his space with other dogs, Echo truly shines as the sole focus of attention. He adores children and would be best with those over 5 years old, so they and the grownups will understand his puppy energy and occasional need for guidance. He is house- and crate-trained.

Echo's personality is lovely--playful, affectionate, goofy, and endlessly loyal. He's a gentle soul with a penchant for cuddles, often becoming a Velcro dog to his beloved humans. His endearing quirks (like grumbling in his kennel, occasional clumsiness, and sneaking cat food), only add to his charm. He would love a fenced yard, though he would be content in an apartment setting as long as he gets daily walks and other outdoor exercise.

A perfect day for Echo involves plenty of adventures, from walks in the park to hikes in the wilderness. He thrives on socializing in dog-friendly spaces, relishing the opportunity to meet new friends.

Echo's love for food is undeniable, especially when it comes to bones and treat puzzles. Frozen fruits and vegetables (like blueberries, carrots, and green beans) are his favorite snacks, keeping him happy and healthy.

In his ideal home, Echo would be cherished as a beloved companion, surrounded with warmth and love--with lots of time for fun. This irresistible, handsome sweetie could very likely become a TikTok sensation, capturing hearts wherever he goes.
