5 months old • 15 pounds • Sweet, snuggly puppy looking for his person

Sosuke is a 5-month-old Terrier mix weighing about 15 pounds. Freshly neutered and still growing into himself, he's discovering that the world isn't such a scary place—and every day his confidence grows a little more.

When you first meet him, Sosuke can be a bit shy. He likes to take a minute to size things up before letting his guard down. But give him the time and patience he needs, and you'll be rewarded with one of the sweetest, cuddliest puppies around. Once he trusts you, he forms a deep bond and loves being close to his people.

Sosuke does well in his crate, even if he'd rather skip the part where he has to go in. He's mostly house-trained and is doing great for his age, though he may have an occasional nervous accident while adjusting to a new environment. With consistency and a predictable routine, he's learning quickly.

Like any young puppy, Sosuke will need continued training, socialization, and plenty of positive experiences as he grows. He's looking for a patient family that understands shy puppies and will let him build confidence at his own pace.

With a little time, kindness, and reassurance, Sosuke blossoms into a loyal, affectionate little shadow who will happily spend his days by your side.
