My story

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

History: We welcomed a group recently from a partnering organization of ours, Villalobos Animal Rescue. These kiddos are SO sweet and already have a great start at basic obedience and mannerisms.

A Note from the Foster: This sweet and shy cuddle-bug is Verde, but we like to call him Bear. He’s not the most confident pup, so he’s looking to join a family that can give him confidence with clear directions and boundaries.

Verde is great with meeting other dogs! He’s established a friendly relationship with our resident dog. They love playing with each other, taking naps together, and finding ways to earn treats. Not only is he great with meeting with other dogs, he’s also a wonderful playmate for humans! He has experience living with a younger child and has done wonderfully. But Verde is still learning what is appropriate play, so he can use more strength than he knows when playing with humans.

Verde is about 1-1.5 years old, so he’s still got puppy energy and behaviors that we’re working on. He’s doing really well learning how to walk calmly on a leash, proper ways to play with humans, and to not jump on people he is excited to meet. But he’s a fast learner and is already potty trained, crate trained, knows how to “sit”, wait for his food, and is starting to learn to play fetch with a frisbee.

One note about Verde’s is that during a recent check up appointment, the veterinarian found that he has a heart murmur. At the moment, we are keeping a close eye on him and his health, but he seems to be a happy and healthy pup. Verde is the sweetest pup and he’s looking for a family that has time to lead him with confidence.
