If you're looking for the kind of enthusiasm that you only see in romcoms or the kind of energy that you only see in Redbull commercials, Icarus is 1000% your man.
This handsome guy is a husky/rottweiler mix and he's about four years old. He's a big boy at about 72lbs and he doesn't quite grasp exactly how big he is because the big dogs never seem to understand that they aren't pocket puppies. He doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body and he is ALL love and sunshine but he's about as graceful as a bull on ice skates. He also needs some help on his leash manners but he'll also most likely calm down considerably once he has a regular outlet for all of that energy.
One of Icarus's green flags is that he is INCREDIBLY smart. He's definitely smarter than most humans. He knows a whole LIST of cues and has them down to a science and he's perfected the art of the "heel sit". He's also super food motivated and will do every trick he knows at once if he knows you have a snack in your hand. Doing any sort of work with him is always super rewarding because you can just see how eager to learn and eager to please he is. This boy is flat out AMAZING.
Icarus LOVES people and is incredibly social and friendly. He doesn't seem to know what to do around other dogs, though. He's really excited to meet them but doesn't seem to have the best manners or social skills so it could definitely work with the RIGHT dog and a family that has experience with a dog that has the impulse control of a teenage boy. We can cat test him upon request. We would also prefer kids 12+ because, again, he's a 70lb dog that thinks he's a 10lb dog and has the coordination skills of a giraffe on stilts.
