🌟 Meet Owen: 7 lbs of Pure Bravery! 🌟
Owen is a resilient little survivor from a breeding situation who is discovering love and trust for the very first time. He is trying so hard to be brave, and his transformation is beautiful to watch. He just needs a patient family to help him cross the finish line!

🐾 The Ideal Setup
A Dog Sibling Required: Owen relies heavily on other dogs for confidence. He copies his foster brothers to learn everything—including going potty outside!

A Fenced Yard: Leashes are still scary for him, so a secure yard is a must for his bathroom breaks and recess.

No Shared Walls: Owen likes to express his feelings with a good old-fashioned howl when you're away, so no apartments or townhomes for this little singer!

🥰 Owen’s Personality & Quirks
Kid-Approved: Surprisingly, Owen prefers kids over big adults! He loves acting as their little shadow and is super curious about what they’re doing.

Great House Manners: You can skip the crate! Owen is totally trustworthy when left alone and has great house manners.

The "Bowl Surfer": He has zero food aggression, but he is highly convinced that the food in the other dog's bowl tastes better. He just needs a little supervision at dinnertime!

Nighttime Routine: He’s happy to snooze in his dog bed but would absolutely love to curl up in the "big bed" with you.

❤️ A Note on Affection
Owen is still worried about direct touch. He isn't aggressive at all—just shy. He will watch the other dogs get pets and inches closer every single day. He will be a cuddler in time, but his adopter needs to be patient and let him set the pace. He’s even starting to figure out what toys are for!

Owen has all the potential to be an incredible companion. If you have a quiet home, a dog friend for him, and some extra patience, Owen will reward you tenfold.

Hi, it’s me — Hardly, the world’s biggest fan of squeaky toys, snuggles, and ignoring the concept of personal space.

If you sit down? I will materialize on top of you within seconds, toy in mouth, squeaking directly into your ear like a tiny, devoted love siren. You’re welcome.
I currently live with two dogs, and together we run a professional-level tug-of-war team. (We’re accepting sponsorships.) I’m also a big fan of outdoor adventures — I strut around the neighborhood like the unofficial mayor, and I’m not afraid to announce it.

I’m a kennel pro, though between us… I would absolutely prefer to sleep in your bed because cuddles > literally everything.

Meal times? Ah yes. I am what some may call a “food enthusiast.” My foster mom says “food hog,” but we don’t use that language here. Let’s just say I’m practicing my manners now that I no longer have to compete.

I also enjoy staring dramatically out windows, plotting my future as a squirrel hunter. They are winning. But one day… maybe.

I’ve got plenty of energy, but once I’m tired out, I become the cuddliest little potato.
So—what do you say? Want to adopt a toy-obsessed, cuddle-demanding, squirrel-watching goofball named Hardly?
