Meet Bauer, a handsome and gentle boy with the kindest eyes and the most irresistibly boop-able nose!

Bauer is on the lookout for his forever home, a place where he can share his calm, friendly nature and shower his new family with love. He’s the type of dog who loves to stretch his legs and enjoy the fresh air, whether that’s running through the yard or going on outdoor adventures. But what really makes him happiest is simply being by your side. Bauer thrives on human connection—he’s the kind of dog who will quietly settle next to you, soaking up all the pets and affection you have to give. He’ll even give you a sweet sniff or gentle lick on your hand when he’s ready for a little more love and attention.

Although Bauer can sometimes be a bit shy when meeting new people, he’s quick to warm up with a little time and patience. Once he feels comfortable, his sweet, gentle side shines through. He is still learning some of the basics of doggy etiquette, so he’ll need a helping hand with training. Bauer may need a bit of guidance on keeping all four paws on the ground—he occasionally jumps up for a hug, unaware of his size! With consistent training and positive reinforcement, Bauer will blossom into a well-mannered companion. In the shelter, Bauer has tested well with other dogs, so he may do well in a home with another canine friend, especially one that matches his energy level.

He’s a calm, kind soul, and his gentle demeanor makes him a great fit for a loving family that’s willing to offer the guidance and structure he needs to thrive. Bauer is truly a special dog, and his future family will be incredibly lucky to welcome him into their lives.

With his sweet personality, loyalty, and eagerness to please, Bauer will make a wonderful companion for anyone looking to share their home with a gentle, friendly, and affectionate dog!
