Full of personality.Shrimp is one of those puppies who figures out the vibe quickly and settles right in.He's affectionate and people-focused, loves a good play session, and is just as happy curling up nearby once he's gotten his wiggles out. Shrimp enjoys the company of other dogs, is respectful with cats, and has been gentle and appropriate around kids.He can be a little unsure in brand-new situations at first, but he adapts quickly and takes his cues from the dogs and people around him. A little reassurance goes a long way with this guy. :• Affectionate and people-loving• Dog-friendly once settled• Cat-friendly• Gentle with kids• Playful with a great off-switch• Generally quiet with normal alert barking• Adjusts quickly to new environments :Shrimp would do best in a home that enjoys interaction, play, and companionship.
