My story

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

This handsome pup is Peter!  Being a ~8.5 month old puppy, Peter is a very active curious little guy and while he is happy and content in his familiar surroundings, Peter can be reticent in some new situations. He absolutely adores his people and is quite devoted. He is house trained, crate trained and leash trained. He’s very treat motivated and will sit and take the treats very nicely.  Being the friendly dog that he is, Peter does not have any food guarding. He will sleep in a crate or in bed with someone. He prefers the bed but will go in his crate when you tell him it’s time to go to bed.  He doesn’t like doggy day care and dog parks scare him – too much noise, people and other dogs.  He is current foster home has two children, 8 and 4 and he adores them!  



He’s still unsure when he meets new people and other dogs and doesn’t like it when people reach out to pet him or grab him. Or, when dogs get up in his face.  He wants to initiate contact.  He will bark at strangers when they come into your house, he’s not aggressive, he’s afraid. He loves to play fetch – well he loves to chase the ball; he hasn’t mastered bringing it back yet.  Squeaky toys are his favorite.  Stuff toys get taken apart and stuffing is spread everywhere!  He does have a lot of energy but is great at snuggling too! He can be a little “mouthy” when he plays.



Zoomies in the backyard are really fun!  He likes the snow and the water.  Likes to haul sticks around. Hauls his blankets around sometimes.   He doesn’t chew on clothes or shoes.  He’s very excited to play and be up and running around in the mornings!  Get him to focus on you, and make him sit and he calms down.  He doesn’t really know how big he is and sometimes thinks he’s a lap dog.
