Reginald ("Reggie") had been passed around to a few different families before finally being dumped at the Hayward Shelter. He struggled to pass the "food bowl" portion of his temperament test, where the tester annoys the dog with a fake rubber hand while eating to see if it bites. Reggie did, so he stayed "in the back" for about a month. Nobody's Perfekt Dogs pulled him into foster care, allowed him to adjust to his new home and create a bond with the humans (it only took a day), then we retested him with a familiar human hand while he was eating and he passed with flying colors - no aggression.

Reggie is a friendly little guy, that gets along with other dogs, and seeks attention from humans. It is not unusual for these type of dogs to crave a lot of attention (a little insecure) and his new owners will need to be aware of his potential for "separation anxiety." Reggie would probably do better in a home with another playful, friendly dog(s) to keep him company. If there are kids in the home, they should be older.

For more information about Reggie, you can contact the foster dad directly
