Story
BASIC INFORMATION Temperament: Very friendly and cuddly, disciplined, spooked by sudden noises Energy level: Medium - Typical puppy energy; will need walks and/or play sessions to fulfill energy needs daily. Crate trained? Yes Potty trained?: Yes Known commands (if any): 'Sit', 'lay down', 'stay', 'come' How do they do on leash? Doesn’t pull, stops to smell a lot What is their favorite snack? Good Lovin Hickory Smoked Bones What is their favorite toy? Big stuffed animals Can they differentiate toys from items they are not allowed to chew on/play with? Mostly, he’ll try to eat slippers and cables sometimes. Likes: Cuddling, sniffing, eating, playing tug of war Dislikes: Loud noises (hitting, yelling, etc.), rejection How do they interact with other dogs? Very playful, jumpy, sniffs Describe how do they interact with cats? Other small animals? Very curious, doesn’t pay too much mind How do they interact with kids? LOVES them, very gentle How do they interact with people? Very friendly, will jump on them, will give you his butt for butt scratches How do they do in the car? Great! He’ll try to lay his head on your lap from the backseat How do they do in the bath? Good, calm How do they do for nails? Good How well do they tolerate general handling? Cooperative They need more help with...? Mouthiness, boundaries, jumping ______ 📜 Any known history: Neglected, found with 10+ others dogs in the home 💌 A note from my foster: Castle is a gentle giant. He thinks he’s a lap dog and will put his entire body weight on you. He is very clingy and just wants to be wherever you are. He makes little gremlin noises when he’s excited or feeling sassy, and howls when he knows it’s time to eat. He’s great all around—super loyal and protective, with those beautiful blue eyes 💙

BASIC INFORMATION 🙃 Describe their temperament: friendly, playful, confident 🔋 Energy level: Medium - Typical pet energy; will need walks and/or play sessions to fulfill energy needs daily. 🔓 Are they crate trained? Yes, he will whine for 15ish minutes and calm down but the amount of whine time has definitely decreased! 🚽 Are they potty trained? Not 100% but I would say with adult dogs to follow, he'll be 100% in no time 🎓 Known commands (if any): None so far 🔗 How do they do on leash? They aren’t loving the leash right now but they can be convinced. It's a new concept for them, so they need some work to pick up the skill! 🥩 What is their favorite snack? Any dietary restrictions or allergies? Not sure yet! 🥎 What is their favorite toy? Rubber balls, bones 👠 Can they differentiate toys from items they are not allowed to chew on/play with? Not yet, they are currently loving chewing shoes and phone chargers😩 🩶 Likes: Snuggling, chasing my toddler, sleeping, eating, playing outside ✖️ Dislikes: Not much that I have noticed yet BEHAVIOR 🐩 Describe how do they interact with other dogs? They are submissive to my big dogs but are still confident and show they want to play, they love to pester my old little dog into playing with them but are very good at understanding cues of when it’s time to chill 🐈‍⬛ Describe how do they interact with cats? Other small animals? No cats here but they love out weenie/chihuahua mix 🍼 Describe how do they interact with kids? OBSESSED with my 5 year old, they chase him, snuggle him and are sooo happy to see him 👤 Describe how do they interact with people? Meeting strangers? Strangers coming up to the door at home? They are so happy and excited to see everyone but aren’t obsessive, they let people pick them up to cuddle and pet them with no issues 🚕 How do they do in the car? So far, they have been sleeping in the car but today he got a little brave and tried to come onto my lap 🧼 How do they do in the bath? Only had 1 so far but they were both great and calm 💅🏼 How do they do for nails? Not sure 🤝🏼 How well do they tolerate general handling? Perfectly 🩶 They need more help with...?
