Notes from Operation Pets Alive

Meet Adam: The 11-Month-Old Grandpa You Didn't Know You Needed. ❤️

Don't let his age fool you—at just 11 months old, Adam has the soul of a wise old gentleman. While other young dogs are busy redecorating your house with shredded pillows, Adam is over here wondering if it's coffee time yet.

Every morning, you'll find him patiently waiting for his favorite ritual: a little dollop of whipped cream with your coffee. It's the highlight of his day (well...that and being with his people).

Adam is completely potty trained and, honestly, he's kind of an overachiever. He doesn't chew furniture, destroy toys, bark just to hear himself talk, or have a mean bone in his body. No food aggression, no toy guarding, no dog aggression—he simply wants everyone to get along.

He's a little shy when meeting new people, but give him a little time and you'll have a loyal best friend for life. Once you're in his circle, you're there forever.

At his foster home, Adam is everyone's favorite teammate. He takes his cues from the other dogs, plays beautifully with the pack, and has impeccable manners. He's also wonderful with small children, making him the kind of dog who fits naturally into family life.

If you've been searching for that once-in-a-lifetime dog—the one who's equal parts gentle, loyal, sweet, and ridiculously easy—Adam might just be your guy.

His only real requirement? Please don't forget the whipped cream.
