💛 Who Biscuit Is
Biscuit is a calm, steady little dog who thrives in a low-key environment and forms strong, lasting bonds with his people. He appreciates predictable routines and a peaceful home, and once he’s connected to you, he becomes a deeply loyal and devoted companion.
He has a clear preference for men and tends to form his strongest bond with a male person, though he does well with women too.
🏠 Training & Habits
Potty trained: ✅ Yes
Crate trained: ✅ Yes
Uses his crate as his safe space
Self-regulates well and will put himself in his crate when he needs quiet time
Responds to “crate” / “kennel”
🐶 With Other Dogs
Biscuit loves other dogs and is very much the lowest on the totem pole.
He shows affection through enthusiastic face licking, which not all dogs enjoy.
The good news: this behavior is very correctable — he respects human redirection well and responds when a person steps in to say it’s time to give space.
Because of his affectionate style, he would do best with:
A tolerant dog who doesn’t mind his friendliness
Possibly a dog his own size once comfortable
He is still learning canine social cues and isn’t quite fluent in
“dude, get out of my face.”
🦮 Leash & Containment
Leash: ❌ Very fearful — not leash-ready
Door dasher: ⚠️ Yes, especially to reach his favorite person
Has attempted to climb a 3-foot chain link fence to reach his foster dad
➡️ Secure physical fence required (taller than 3 feet recommended)
🚗 Car Rides
Car rides make him nervous. He prefers to sit in a lap for comfort.
🏡 Ideal Home
Quiet, low-chaos household
Male adopter preferred or someone open to a strong one-on-one bond
Secure fenced yard

Please also take a moment to read our requirements located in the application.
Please note:
The dog you’re applying for might already have a meet-and-greet scheduled, be on a trial with another family, or has been offered to another rescue within our network. Don’t worry though — we’re always happy to help you find another great match if that happens! Our goal is to make sure every pup ends up in the best home for their needs (and yours too!).
