Meet Higgins, a  handsome and playful pup who easily bonds with his people and craves their love and attention. He is curious, outgoing, and enjoys the company of other dogs. He is also pee pad trained and goes potty outside on command.

Higgins loves playing in the yard, indulging in his puppy-like behavior. However, he can be rambunctious at times, so an experienced and consistent owner would be the ideal match for him.

Environment

Higgins would thrive in a home where he can receive proper leash training and plenty of exercise to shed a few pounds. His separation anxiety would benefit from an owner who can provide a structured environment and who is home more often than not.

People and Pets

Higgins’ ideal canine pack would be confident young or adult dogs, no seniors. His brother Barney is also up for adoption and they could be adopted together. (See Barney’s profile for more information.)

Some qualifications for adopters are:

1. Experience in handling dogs with separation anxiety

2. C onsistent approach to training and discipline

3. A home with no children or older children only
