<\/a><\/p>\nLongfellow has formed sweet bonds with the staff members who spend time with him, happily joining them for walks and companionship. He seems to enjoy being close to his trusted people and appreciates calm, patient attention. Around other dogs at the shelter, he has been easygoing and cooperative.<\/p>\n
On leash, Longfellow is enthusiastic and surprisingly strong for his size, so he\u2019ll benefit from continued leash training and guidance. He listens well and responds to gentle correction, which suggests he\u2019ll do nicely with a little consistency and practice.<\/p>\n
Longfellow would likely thrive in a home that offers stability, patience, and plenty of time together. His thoughtful personality and affectionate loyalty make him a rewarding companion for someone who appreciates a dog that forms close bonds with the people he trusts.<\/p>\n
To meet Longfellow, contact: Calaveras County Animal Services, (209) 754-6509 or animal@calaverascounty.gov
\nPlease use Longfellow\u2019s intake number (A060459) when making inquiries.<\/p>\n
