Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Fang has really come out of his shell in the past six weeks that we have spent with him! His confidence when meeting new people has increased dramatically. He loves doing zoomies and playing fetch in our large yard with his foster brothers. We were very excited to find out that Fang also loves the water! He will splash contentedly in a shallow pool for hours and is a very strong swimmer when we throw a stick in the lake! We have also taken him on many trips into town and does well in the car and out in public spaces like the brewery and parks with encouragement from us — we are very treat and food motivated! Further, Fang has proven himself a great adventure buddy and has thoroughly enjoyed several camping trips this summer!
At home Fang loves to play with his toys and especially loves harder chews like Nylabones and animal horns/antlers. He loves his people and will contentedly follow you around the house to make sure he is there in case you need his help with anything! He spends his days while we are at work in his kennel without complaint and sleeps in his own bed in our bedroom at night. However, he likes to sneak up for snuggles whenever he can! His off-leash recall is incredibly strong, and he consistently sticks around within eyesight. I cannot stress how much this sweet boy loves attention, praise, and snuggles from his people. He is a 50lb lap dog for sure!
It should be noted that, since Fang spent the first half of his existence until now in the shelter - a time in which puppies really experience the world and learn how to be a dog - he is lacking confidence in and often finds himself scared in new situations. As such, he has really relied on my 3-year-old dog to ‘show him the ropes’. I would love to see Fang go to a family who has an established dog to continue providing this canine guidance and encouragement (and a live-in playmate)!
