Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello there, future family! My name is Dozer, and I'm an adorable 8-week-old male puppy ready to bring joy and excitement into your home. My foster mom affectionately calls me Piranha or Chomper because, well, I love to play, and sometimes that involves a bit of nibbling. I'm a bundle of energy and fun, always up for a good time.
My favorite part of the day is when my foster mom gives me a puppy puzzle filled with treats. I'm a peanut butter enthusiast, and I solve that puzzle in record time-did I mention I'm pretty smart? We're working on my manners, and I've already mastered sitting for a treat. Admittedly, I can get a tad too excited, but hey, I'm just a puppy, and I'm eager to learn.
Potty training is a work in progress. Some days are better than others, especially when there's so much to explore and play with outside. I've got a collection of toys, and I'll even bring them back a few times before deciding it's more fun to keep you guessing.
I live with a foster sister, but she prefers the couch to avoid my playful biting. I've discovered my voice and will bark to get your attention-I even set off mom's security camera with my howling during storms. Speaking of storms, not a big fan of thunder, but water, now that's something I enjoy. Baths are no big deal for me; I'm a big boy!
Mom says I'm handsome with my pretty green eyes, and I couldn't agree more. I'm crate trained and have a comfy bed for a good night's sleep. When it's chilly, I'll even sport a jacket. We're still working on leash training, and I may not be a fan just yet, but with your patient guidance, I'm sure to master it in no time.
If you're looking for a smart, playful, and handsome addition to your family, I'm your guy. Come meet me, and let's embark on this exciting journey together!
