Hi All!! Let me begin by saying that there is so much more to me than my suave and debonair looks! I will do my best to share all of me with all of you. I was found running loose, so my humble beginnings are unknown. However, it is clear that I had not been well socialized and as a result I am a bit on the reserved side when meeting new humans. When I first arrived here at the rescue, I was fearful of sudden movements/ loud noises, and I would cower and back away if someone approached me too quickly. BUT (allow me to brag on myself!) since being in my foster home, I have an abundant amount of self-confidence and am now much more willing to trust people, I will seek out attention from those I recognize and now I even approach those I do not recognize! I have been fostered with kids and find them quite entertaining as well. I will require a patient, stable home with an owner(s) that is willing to supply me with continued socialization, confidence and love!!! I have shown NO aggression of any kind. Once I bond with my human(s) I want to be near them all the time!! Foster mom calls me a "velcro dog", not sure if that's a good thing?? HEY, check out my picture! Not all dogs can do their own banking!! Those tellers loved me. I am in the beginning stages of learning how to play with toys as it appears that they are another new thing for me. As you can see in my pictures, I am being fostered with several other dogs and we do great together. I kinda threw my foster doggie siblings for a loop when I started playing at first due to the "barky, growly, bear-like" noises I make!! Yes, I am quite vocal during playtime which may be a bit off-putting for some other dogs. So, if you have another dog(s), we will have to make certain all is copacetic between us! I am a real pro at walking on a leash and get SOOOO EXCITED when foster mom gets the leash out. I get so excited that I jump in circles until she gives me the "SIT" command and it takes all I have to sit and be still til she gets me hooked up and we are off to new adventures!! My potty habits? Well, foster mom could not be happier! I currently have a doggie door leading out to a fenced yard, so I am able to come and "go" whenever I feel the need. She is very proud (and shocked) that I have not had an "accident" in the house since I've been here....seems like a big deal to her lol?? But keep in mind that a new home will mean new schedules so patience and consistency will be key. I am also crate trained, but I am happy to say that I have not had to spend much time in one since I am so well behaved. When I first arrived and foster mom left the house, I would hang out in my crate, so I (as well as the house) stayed safe. However, now that I am feeling more relaxed the crate is no longer used. I really enjoy a nice Sunday drive while checking out the scenery. As you see in my picture, I am even willing to share the co-pilot seat with others! I have a ton of great qualities and some pretty quirky ones as well, but who doesn't?? If you have taken the time to read this, please reread it and if you think you are able to commit to helping me become the dog that I was meant to be then fill out that application!! love, tony
