Oven Mitt didn’t have the easiest start—rescued from a shelter and learning a brand-new routine—but you’d never guess it from the calm, loving little dog he’s become. Now, at just under a year old, he’s ready to leave kennel life behind for good and settle into what he truly loves: a cozy home, a soft couch, and people to stay close to.
