It is adorable to see 4-year-old, 64-pound Seaver express his joy this way and we thought posting a video of him in action would catch the attention of potential adopters. But despite getting thousands of views and many shares on social media, Seaver is still looking for a forever home.

Besides his great moves, Seaver is also an extremely good-looking dog. His black coat with white markings on his feet, face and chest combined with his soulful eyes make him a stunner. He’s also housebroken and walks well on a leash. And did I mention he loves children? He does and he instinctively knows to be gentle around little ones.

Yet, still this amazing dog sits in his shelter kennel, waiting for a home.
Seaver also loves to go on car rides. He’s been on numerous Doggie Days Out with volunteers and behaves himself, enjoying the scenery and human company. Nearly every time he returns from his Doggie Day Out adventures, the folks comment on what a terrific boy he is.

But despite these rave reviews, he’s on his second month of watching other dogs get chosen instead of him. So, what’s going on here?

We’re not sure but we think it is because Seaver does best being an only pet. He is not generally aggressive towards other pets and can be seen at the shelter giving kisses to dogs that walk by his kennel. But he doesn’t want to share his home with other animals and this limits his adoption opportunities.

However, if you are looking for just one awesome dog to be your best friend for life, Seaver is ready to dance his way into your heart. If you would like to adopt Seaver and can give him a loving home or know someone who would be a good match for this cutie, please call the Aiken County Animal Shelter, 803.642.1537 (option # 5) or email info@fotasaiken.org and make an appointment to visit him.

Their lives are in our hands.
