Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Introducing Ireland, an adventurous and playful pup currently in foster care!
Ireland is a social butterfly who has quickly adapted to life with other dogs. He's met a variety of furry friends, both male and female, and handles corrections well while still initiating play. This confident and curious pup is eager to explore the world around him.
Although he's still learning, Ireland is making great progress with his house training and basic obedience skills. He's also becoming more comfortable asking for human affection, enjoying pets and sitting in laps, though he's not a fan of being picked up.
Ireland's perfect day involves plenty of yard play, stuffed animals, and his favorite activity: WATER! He absolutely loves swimming and playing in the sprinkler. Plus, he's already showing an interest in patrolling the yard, so any activities that engage his natural instincts would be perfect for him.
One thing that sets Ireland apart is his playful personality and his knack for mimicking the behaviors of the older dogs in the home. He's growing fast and may end up being a large dog, so a family ready for a big, gentle companion would be ideal.
If you're looking for an energetic and loving addition to your family who's ready for plenty of adventures, Ireland might just be the perfect fit!
