🐾 Meet Mr. Plausible Deniability! 🐾
There’s no denying this boy’s sweetness! 😘
At just 1 year old and 60 lbs, Mr. Plausible Deniability is a big ol’ softie who needs a little help finding his confidence. He can be hesitant and shy with new people/situations, but put another dog beside him and suddenly the world feels a whole lot less scary. 🐶❤️
Because of this, we’re looking for a home with another confident, social dog who can show him the ropes and help him blossom into the best version of himself. 🌱
He’s also looking for a kid-free home, but once he’s comfortable, get ready for the full Plausible Deniability experience: endless kisses, maximum cuddles, and a personal sidekick who has absolutely no concept of personal space. 😂💋
