Well, hello! Newman here.

I'm still finding my voice, but once you earn my trust, I'll follow you anywhere—even if it takes me a while to believe I'm allowed to be loved.

My notes say I'm a world-class cuddler, and I'd like that on the record.

I'm a youngster — a little goofy, very teachable, and absolutely ready to grow up beside someone wonderful.

I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that scare you off — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.

I'm a Oakland local, just waiting on the right person.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

Who knows — by Halloween I might be napping on somebody's couch. I'd love it to be near you, one way or another.

Thanks for spending a minute with me. I'll be right here, tail ready, hoping it's you. — Newman

About Newman

Newman is an 11-month-old, 42-pound pittie mix with striking coat markings and an endearing little snort that adds to his charm. This pup is still building confidence but has already shown himself to be gentle, curious, and eager to learn. Thoughtful young explorer: Newman pulls mildly on leash though he may pull moderately at times to check out some spots. He enjoys sniffing adventures and likes investigating new smells at his own pace. Eager to learn: Highly treat motivated, Newman takes treats gently. While he's still learning "sit," he has already excelled at "touch" and happily follows treat lures during training sessions. Quietly affectionate: Newman prefers to stay close to his person and is gradually becoming more comfortable with petting as trust grows. Solo star: Newman has been uncomfortable meeting other dogs at the shelter. He may do best as the only dog in a home with patient adopters who can help him continue learning and gaining confidence.
