Hi, I’m Forest, a sweet, affectionate pup looking for my forever home! I have lots of love to give and I can’t wait to give so much amazing companionship to an amazing family!
My PawsCo foster family is the best and I enjoy hanging out with all of them! Especially the older kids in my foster home-we are just best buds. I’m a big, bouncing boy with lots of energy, and I love having human buddies to play with. I love to play fetch and I adore my toys. My favorite is the big red Kong and any ball I can chase. I’d do great in an active home where I can get daily exercise (I’d be an awesome jogging or hiking buddy!)
While I adore the humans in my foster home, I’m not adjusting well to the other dog in my foster home so due to that, I may do my best as the only dog in my forever home. I tend to ignore other dogs on our walks and I did well meeting dogs at the shelter I was originally at but I just am not enjoying sharing my space with another dog friend. I need a family who is comfortable just having one dog or is willing to work with me to see what type of dog friends I do best with (this is best done alongside a positive reinforcement trainer!).
You should also know…I’m a smarty-pants! I am so eager to learn and I catch onto new training quickly! I already know the basics–sit, down, shake, and I almost know stay. I sleep in my crate and sometimes like to hang out in there and I’m also potty trained! I’m a wonderful house guest and I can’t wait to show off my fancy skills to an awesome family.
Are you looking for a fast learner who loves to cuddle and will bring so much happiness to your home? Please learn more about the adoption process and fill out an application at https://pawsco.org/adopt/adoption-process. Or contact my friends at PawsCo at adopt@pawscoadoptions.org if you have questions. I look forward to meeting you!
