Larson is the kind of dog who believes everyone is a friend he just hasn’t met yet. This goofy, happy-go-lucky guy is a true social butterfly who greets new people with an ever-wagging tail and a smile that is impossible to resist. Whether you’re a familiar face or a total stranger, Larson is always ready to say hello. One of Larson’s favorite things is getting out on a Miles & Mutts adventure. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll filled with plenty of sniff breaks or a hike on the trails, he’s happiest when he has the chance to explore the world alongside his people. Larson thrives when he has both physical exercise and mental enrichment, but with a positive outlet for his energy, he settles in beautifully and is more than happy to relax afterward. Don’t let his adventurous side fool you—Larson has a soft side too. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves soaking up attention. Belly rubs are one of his greatest joys, and he’ll happily flop over, hoping you’ll stop for just a few more scratches. Larson has wonderful manners and has made shelter life easy on everyone who meets him. He is potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, and knows the cues “sit,” “down,” “wait,” and “shake.” He’s gentle when taking treats and toys, eager to please, and genuinely enjoys spending time with his people. Of course, there is always room to learn more! Because Larson forms strong bonds with his people, he may experience some separation anxiety when left alone. Giving him regular exercise, enrichment activities, and a consistent routine will go a long way in helping him feel confident and successful in his new home. He’s also known to be a little excitedly chatty when something fun is happening, but it’s short-lived and simply part of his charming, enthusiastic personality. We’ve also seen Larson do well with other dogs. He’s friendly during introductions, happy to say hello, and equally content to do his own thing. If you already have a canine companion, we’re happy to help arrange a meet and greet. Larson is simply a fun dog to be around. He’s equal parts adventure buddy, cuddle companion, and loyal best friend. If you’re looking for a dog who will happily join you on the trail, make friends wherever he goes, and end the day curled up beside you, Larson may just be your perfect match.
