Story
Hi friends, I’m Resi!I would like to begin by saying that I am VERY busy. There are things to sniff. Things to investigate. Things to learn. People to impress. And, most importantly, WATER. I have places to be and splashing to do. I am a high energy, goofy little chaos gremlin and a firm believer that life is best lived at approximately 110% at all times. The staff here love me, because I am the best. I came to FDHS a few months ago after my family’s home burned down and they had nowhere else for me to go. Before that, I spent most of my life living on a tie out next to railroad tracks. When I first arrived, I was kind of a hot mess. I had not exactly been given much opportunity to learn how to be a well rounded dog, so I needed some help with my manners and figuring out this whole “being a gentleman” thing. Luckily, I’ve had some pretty great people in my corner and I’ve made a LOT of progress.Now, let’s discuss my greatest passion: WATER. I LOVE WATER. I want to swim in it, splash in it, investigate it, and wallop around in it all day. I am convinced I was a mermaid in a previous life and I would like to return to my aquatic roots. I’m also interested in making some animal friends! I’ve been friendly with other dogs through the kennel and have shown interest in playing. I’m polite but curious around the cats in the catio, too. New people are a little more complicated. I didn’t get much practice with them growing up, so I can be shy and standoffish until I decide you are one of the good ones. Treats help tremendously. In fact, I am willing to reconsider almost any opinion in exchange for snacks.I do have some things my future family will need to understand. I LOVE food. Perhaps a little too much. I can gobble down my meals and have been known to resource guard my food bowl and high value treats. I do great with a slow feeder and prefer to enjoy my meals peacefully in my kennel. My future family will need to respect my boundaries around food and continue helping me build confidence and trust.I’m looking for an active family who understands my breed, enjoys a dog with a little extra horsepower and is ready to keep teaching me. I’ve been through some really hard things, but I have a LOT of life left to live, and I’m hoping my forever family is out there ready to keep up!**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention.
