Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I`m in a foster home! Email my foster caregiver to meet me: adamkhalaaf@gmail.com
Meet Caboose! A four-year-old, medium-sized mix with a lab face and adorable short legs. Caboose is a medium-energy pup -- he loves outdoor time and would be able to keep up on longer walks, but settles well in the house, and is doing great with a couple relaxed walks a day, after which he`ll happily snooze. Caboose is sweet, affectionate, and eager to learn. He`s attentive to and attached to people but not 100% a velcro dog; he`s able to nap while you`re doing something else nearby if he`s had some exercise. He`s also food motivated but not food obsessed and doesn`t try to table/counter-surf. He does well being handled and will seek out attention and frequent belly rubs. On walks, Caboose is unbothered by most dogs, occasionally barking at smaller dogs. He`s done well handling unexpected situations like off-leash dogs running up to him. He loves going for medium-paced sniffy walks and doesn`t pull excessively. One thing to work on will be giving Caboose time to get used to unfamiliar circumstances and people -- he can be uncertain and bark around strange kids, scooters, people carrying odd things or wearing helmets, etc. -- so he`ll need some patient exposure and lots of treats to help him learn that there`s nothing to worried about.
Caboose does really well in the house. He`s had a couple accidents but is definitely mostly house-trained -- he understands to pee as soon as we get outside. He occasionally alert barks but does well with various apartment noises and is capable of ignoring or sleeping through them. Caboose is curious but understands quite well to only play with his toys. He doesn`t seem to be destructive or an intense chewer -- plush toys are still intact! He`s absolutely adorable playing with his toys and ball. He loves his ball, and will toss it for himself and chase it, self-entertaining for quite a while.
Caboose is a very happy dog! He`ll make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a balanced pup: playful, sweet, engaged, and a great napper.
