Meet Ghost!
A true gentleman with a heart of gold, an adorable head tilt, and an absolutely OBSESSIVE love of food.

Ghost may have a spooky name, but there's nothing scary about this sweet boy! He's patient, gentle, affectionate, and has quickly proven himself to be an all-around wonderful houseguest.

Sadly, Ghost waited patiently for his previous owner to come back for him, but no one ever did. Now, he's ready to find a family who will never leave him waiting again.

Why Ghost is such a catch:

Dog friendly! Ghost is a true gentleman around other dogs. He's often indifferent and politely waits for another dog to initiate play. No pushy behavior here!

House trained AND crate trained! He may take a little time to settle in his crate, but once he does, he sleeps peacefully through the night.

Gentle, calm, and affectionate. Ghost is a laid-back guy around the house who loves being petted. And his adorable head tilt? Seriously, you have to see it to believe it.

FOOD. IS. LIFE. If there's one thing Ghost is passionate about, it's food. Treats? Yes. Dinner? Absolutely. Your dinner? He'd like to discuss that, too. He'll move mountains for a snack, which makes him highly food motivated and eager to show off his excellent "sit!"

Loves his toys! Especially hard toys he can happily chew on. Outside of his toys, he hasn't shown destructive chewing behaviors.

Kid friendly in public! Ghost has done well around children during public outings and has been a polite gentleman out and about.

Excellent car passenger! He's a great travel buddy and even rode crated in the back of a vehicle without making a single peep.

Smart and adaptable! Ghost learned his foster home's routine in ONE DAY. He's clearly ready to settle into family life.

No resource guarding observed! Despite his intense love affair with food, Ghost has shown no resource guarding.

A few things Ghost is working on:

Leash manners: He's a strong boy on leash, especially when he's excited, but settles nicely when you stop and sit down.

Pre-walk excitement: Getting his leash or harness on is VERY exciting, and he sometimes tries to chew on the leash during the process. Otherwise, he hasn't displayed concerning biting or chewing behaviors.

Counter surfing: Listen, when food is your entire personality, resisting the temptation to investigate the countertops is HARD. ?? He's working on remembering that not every snack belongs to him.

The best thing about Ghost?

He's patient. He's kind. He's gentle. He doesn't demand to be the center of attention, but he's always happy to receive some love. He's the kind of dog who settles into your home, learns your routine, and just wants to be part of the family.

Ghost waited for someone who never came back. Now it's his turn to have someone who chooses him and keeps choosing him.

If you're looking for a sweet, goofy, food-obsessed gentleman with the world's cutest head tilt, Ghost might just be your guy.
