Feeling adopter's remorse after getting a dog? It's normal. Learn why it happens, get practical tips, and find out how shelters can help you overcome dog.
Meet Behe, a sweet and sensitive boy who may start off a little shy, but quickly blossoms into an incredibly affectionate and devoted companion once he feels safe. He forms deep bonds with his people and thrives on gentle reassurance, eager to quietly curl up beside you and bring warmth to your home. Behe is currently mastering potty training and leash skills, showing wonderful progress with consistent effort, and he's also a pro in his crate. He truly wants to make his family proud.
As a Bichon Frise and Maltese mix, Behe has a soft coat and a gentle soul, indicative of his sensitive nature. He gets along well with other dogs, especially after slow and respectful introductions, making him a great candidate for a home with another canine pal. His breed mix suggests he will need regular grooming to keep his beautiful coat in top condition. Behe is eager to learn and will thrive with positive reinforcement.
Behe's ideal home is a calm environment with a steady routine and patient, loving guardians. He experiences some anxiety when left alone, so a family where someone is often home, or with another dog to keep him company, would be perfect. A home with a yard would be a wonderful bonus for him. He would do well with older, considerate children who understand his sensitive nature. If you have room in your heart for a gentle boy who just needs a little time to shine, Behe may be your perfect match.
