My story

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

Foster update 9/4/25: "He's just the sweetest little thing. It feels like he had a family before that may have had some harsh or strict reactions to just being a puppy. But he's just all love and playtime. Enjoys snuggles as much as run and play."

Foster update 1/9/26: "He's a good boy, very sweet, loves his toys. His weight is nice and healthy (he eats healthy foods with treats of apples, carrots, salmon skin, and an occasional strawberry). He loves to play and is high energy.

We are working with him to get better at leash walking and would do better with a harness as he can wiggle free. He also goes a little crazy when seeing other dogs at a distance (although he had a kennel mate when we first fostered him). He could also benefit from a muzzle when on walks just for safety.

He is good with our family including our little boys. But can get a little nippy during play. We do our best to redirect him to his toys. He has been with us around 4 months. He is very afraid of loud devices such as the vacuum. I just keep him safe in his kennel and try to talk to him the whole time. He has gotten better about the hair dryer, though."
