My story

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

Who wouldn’t want a fluffy butt like this as their new best friend? Furlough came into the shelter as a stray on 1/18/24. At 30 lbs he’s a dainty medium sized dog. He’s quite low maintenance. He enjoys attention and being pet, but he’s just as happy to do his own thing too. Furlough walks well on a leash without pulling at all. He seems to know he’s supposed to stay close by your side for this part. Loose in the play yard he feels more adventurous and loves to explore. He has a low energy level and doesn’t need much in the way of exercise. Furlough already knows how to sit on command and will happily do so for a treat. He hasn’t learned any other tricks yet, but with practice and love of treats he’s sure to pick them up quickly. He`s been good around other dogs and has lived well in a home with a 3YO child in a previous foster home. He never jumps up or barks! He has not been his best self around cats so far though.
