My story

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

Atti  is a very playful young dog.  He loves toys and is highly praise-motivated.  He loves people and other dogs.
Energy Level?  High
House trained?  About 90%
Describe how they are on a leash?  Amazing.   Atti  walks to the left and one step behind.  The only time he needs correction is if he gets excited to see another dog. However, if you say his name he gets back to heel.
Describe how they are with other dogs?  Overall good.  He is young and full of energy, so he sometimes annoys the resident middle-aged dog.  There was only one tiff over chew sticks.
Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?  unknown
Commands they know?  Nothing 100%, but he seems to know "No," "Leave it," "Down," and "Off."  He responds to them about 60-70% of the time, and I know he could learn other things easily with time and focus.
What are their favorite things?  He loves toys, playing fetch, and curling up under a blanket on the couch.  And in general, just positive attention.
What do they need to work on? Atti will take things off the tables if he can reach them.   He is also a chewer.  He hasn't chewed anything he isn't supposed to, but he will need chews and toys.  
How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?  He's been left alone for a few hours at a time in an exercise pen.  He has a little separation anxiety and does cry at least when I leave and when he hears you come home until you let him out.
Where do they sleep?  In an exercise pen in another room.  On the first couple of nights, he cried for about an hour, but since then, he has settled in easily.  I know he would love to sleep in the room with you if you'd allow it.
What is their ideal home?   Atti  loves attention and is high-energy.  He'd do well in a home with one or more people who could spend a lot of time with him playing, going on multiple walks, and even just hanging out.  He does like other dogs and will play with them as well.

More about this rescue

Every Pet's Dream is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Foster-based rescue dedicated to saving animals that otherwise would have been euthanized. We provide them a fresh start and an opportunity to find their forever home. In some cases we will take in owner surrenders.

If animals could share their hopes and dreams with us, what would they say? They would say that they want to give love and be loved and cared for their entire lives.

Every Pet's Dream believes that dogs feel safe with rules and boundaries and thrive with training, exercise and love. Cats also feel safe with boundaries, a great place to hide and plenty of love as well.

Adopt for Life and Fulfill Every Pet's Dream!
