Soup wants one thing above all else: to be wherever you are. Adventure buddy, hiking partner, couch companion after a long day — whatever you're up for, Soup's in.

 

He's got a memorable look that matches his personality, too. With one erect ear and  the other perpetually floppy, he looks like he is alert and relaxed at the same time.

 

He's friendly with everyone he meets and makes fast friends wherever he goes. He's house-trained already, and he's working on basic commands like sit and shake. Give him a little time and the right treats, and this smart guy will pick it up fast.

 

Soup's perfect day starts early, fills up with activity, and ends with a cuddle session. He'd do best in an active home with plenty of time outdoors and plenty of time with his person.

 

Come meet Soup at We Care Animal Rescue,

 

1345 Charter Oak Ave.

St. Helena, CA 94574.

    We adopted from We Care last year. They take such good care of their animals. Good luck, Soup!

    I wonder how he does with other dogs? He sounds super friendly!

      Tommy W.I was curious about that too! Maybe the shelter staff can share more if you give them a call. He does seem like he’d be a fun buddy for another pup.

    That floppy ear makes me smile. Dogs really do have the best personalities.

    Wish more rescue dogs got write-ups like this. Soup looks like a star.

    Aww, a smart dog who loves cuddles. If I didn’t already have two pups, I’d be interested!

    Sounds like the perfect hiking pal. Might have to go meet Soup this weekend.

    His one-up, one-down ears are too cute! Hope he finds a forever home soon.
