Meet Varsity – Your Next Adventure Buddy!
Varsity is a handsome, laid-back boy with a playful streak and a whole lot of heart. He’s happiest when he gets a good walk in—after that, he’s content to relax and hang out. If he starts getting restless, it’s his gentle way of telling you he’s ready to stretch his legs. On walks, Varsity is a dream—he has great eye contact, enjoys being rewarded with his kibble, and generally moves along well. He may pause if he needs to go potty or spots another dog, but otherwise, he’s a pleasure to walk.
In the backyard, Varsity is still in his “puppy explore mode,” so supervision is key—he’s known to taste-test just about everything he finds. He’s also been known to do a little counter surfing and occasionally investigates couch cushions if left alone, so his new family should be ready to keep an eye on him and set boundaries as he continues to learn the ropes of home life.
While Varsity cried a bit his first night in home care, he now sleeps peacefully in his crate—especially when it’s placed next to the bed. He’s still learning how to enjoy toys (they don’t last long with him!), so they’re best to be durable and used under supervision.
Varsity would thrive in a home with older children, as he can get excited and a bit mouthy during playtime—making him better suited to families without young kids.
