My name is Dude!

Dude is 3 years old. My family and I adopted him from Tacoma, WA. I spent the most time with him, so when I moved out of the house I noticed my family wasn’t approaching his emotional and social needs correctly. He’s an energetic dog who likes to run around outside (needs to be on leash or in fenced area). When I lived at home he would poop outside, but when I left my family trained him to poop inside on a mat. He can be retrained to do either. He has not been neutered, so he marks his territory often. Outside potty time is not enough for him, so we have doggy diapers for him so he does not ruin furniture or packages, and also pads he uses. I am looking for a household that currently has no pets, with a fenced yard or someone with a consistent walking plan for him, and patient humans that will be kind to him as he adjusts to a new home. Dude can get very anxious around new people, so he’ll need time to warm up. He is trained to sit, and to go to his crate when we say goodnight.
