My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please contact foster at shamiyahentz8@gmail.com

-Sweet + fun guy who can be timid at first
-Loves treats + very food motivated, so should be easier to train
-Knows sit
-Loves pets + being brushed
-Drops toys at your feet when playing
-Loves playing fetch + rope toys
-Walks well on leash
-Very curious of sounds + things on walks
-Loves car rides
-Great on leash
-Loved meeting new people
-Sweet and affectionate
-Loves pup cups
-Tail wagging and gets excited when he saw a dog

1. Seems to enjoy riding in the car. He laid down in the back seat.
2. He does ok on a leash but he is very strong and pulls. He would be best suited for a harness.
3. Not exactly sure how he does with other pets. He did get excited while on a walk and saw other dogs. I also have two cats and he had a brief introduction.
4. He really enjoyed meal time and was very hungry but did show any aggression when I approached his food bowl.
5. Once he got comfortable he enjoyed resting and relaxing on the couch.
6. He does enjoy being petted but he did not like to be touched near his paws or legs.
7. He didn’t seem to be a big fan of toys or treats.
8. He did like to always stay by my side and followed me anytime I got up and walked around. We both slept together on the couch last night and he is a greater sleeper and he slept all through the night.
9. When I brought him back to the shelter today he did get upset and excited when he was around or near other dogs in the lobby.
10. I think the poor guy has been through a lot and probably was mistreated and or abused.
11. I think if he is in the right environment with lots of love, support and training he would evolve into a great member of a family someone just needs to give him a chance.
12. From what I know he was been in the kennel for awhile and has not had a lot of time outside of it so I think if he found a loving foster that would be great for him.
