Meet ISAAC, a gentle scruff who’s been slowly but surely coming out of his shell in his foster home. With his mostly white coat, cute tan ears, and unique speckled markings, ISAAC is an adorably compact 35 pounds—the perfect size for almost any living space! At just about 2 years old, it’s ISAAC’s sensitive, observant, and curious nature that will steal your heart.

Indoors, ISAAC is house-trained and crate-trained—his crate being his safe space where he feels most comfortable relaxing. He’s building confidence when meeting new people and exploring more of his foster home at his own pace. He is starting to enjoy being a part of the home’s daily rhythm and observing his foster family’s activities. With the people he trusts, he is incredibly affectionate—full of tail wags, kisses, and goofy excitement. Nothing is more heartwarming than his signature tippy-taps!

Outdoors is where ISAAC shines! He is a fantastic loose-leash walker, both attentive and easygoing, which makes for peaceful walks. His foster family hasn’t observed any prey drive or reactivity towards dogs or people. Occasional loud noises may make him pause, but he recovers quickly. ISAAC loves following his foster dog sister on pack walks and coexists well with her at home. That said, we think he’d be happiest as a solo dog where he doesn’t feel the need to compete for attention. He has not been tested with children and would likely do best with older, dog-savvy kids who can interact with him respectfully.

This scruff’s ideal home will stick to a routine, boundaries, and extend patience as he continues to learn and gain confidence. A couple of good walks, some outdoor exploring, and affection from his favourite humans would make a perfect day. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion, apply to adopt ISAAC!
