Yes, I’m Landseal. Obviously. Foster mom won’t stop talking about me, and frankly, I don’t blame her—I’m adorable. She keeps whispering something about a “breeder release,” but I don’t know what that means. All I know is I used to live in a barn with heat lamps, zero home decor, and exactly one job: exist.

But now? I’m rewriting my story.

I’m looking for a patient, kind human—preferably one who doesn’t expect me to understand this whole “potty outside” thing right away. I’m trying, okay? I’ve only recently learned that rugs aren’t grass.

I adore dogs of all kinds and shapes. Humans? I’m working on it. At first, I might duck my head and inch toward you like I’m sneaking up on a snack. But if you scratch just the right spot? Boom—I'm in your lap like I pay rent there, melting into a puddle of snuggles.

I’m ridiculously quiet, suspiciously small, and shockingly sweet once I trust you. So here’s to new beginnings, soft landings, and someone finally showing me what love really feels like.

Give a barn guy a chance, will ya?
