Sailor is slow to warm up to new people and new environments, but once he does he becomes a more enthusiastic and excitable dog, occasionally sharing more and more of his personality as time goes on. He does seem to acclimate faster with a somewhat calmer/older dog around to keep him company. Too much going on all at once can cause him some stress in those new environments.
Sailor is very curious, and typically likes to be in the room with people, even if he is just watching from afar. He likes to follow people as they walk about the house. He also likes to make sure he gets his meals, and if he notices you haven't eaten a meal too, he will try to get your attention to get you into the kitchen because he also wants a snack if you're willing to share. Sailor is not picky about his treats, whether it is some carrots, a flavored dog treat, or a couple pieces of steak. He easily takes any medication he has needed, whether it's with a pill pocket, in a piece of cheese, or covered in peanut butter.
Sailor does like frequent bathroom breaks during the day, but is good about having no messes overnight, although he will start making a whining sound in the morning when he has to go. He has shown some mild interest in various toys and enrichment, but he typically likes to run a few laps around the yard with a playmate as his form of play time. He walks decently on a leash, but sudden loud noises can startle him into stopping for a prolonged time, and cars and unfamiliar pedestrians do cause him to stop and try to hide behind his person until they have gone by. Sailor does well during car rides, he does not bark, howl, or otherwise distract the driver. He is fairly calm and quiet, just observing his surrounding, but there have been a few times he has gotten sick during a short drive.
Sailor is about 5 years old and was part of a hoarding case. He will need a patient home willing to give him time to open up and feel secure.
