What my friends at OHS say about me:Is there a dog shaped hole in your heart? I can fix that!I am a pretty eager guy as I get so stoked for walks that I tend to pull. I can't help it, walkies are so so so much fun! I could use some help learning proper leash manners.Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.Do you like sweet things? Then I am the perfect companion for you!The type of home I'm looking for:I would prefer a home without cats or other small animals.It could be with you!

Story
I'm in a foster home right now, but I'm still available for adoption! Click the Meet Me button and complete the questionnaire to schedule a meet and greet appointment.Hello there, my name's Sid! If you're looking for an active pup to fill your life with, I might be the guy for you! I am a very active guy who loves to go on walks. I have big feelings when I see other pups on my walks so I will need some training to help make me the perfect walking buddy. I am super smart and have picked up on basic training fast! I know sit and down right now, but I can't wait to learn more! I looove treats and do my best work with them! A fun way to get my brain working is hiding my treats! I carefully pick apart puzzle toys/ boxes to get to the treats. I had fun in my previous home with kids! Even when I was zooming around, I was careful not to bump into them. I would love to meet any new human siblings I'll be living with! I love to hang out in a crate when my family isn't home! I cuddle up with my blankets and toys and wait for you to come back patiently. I get very excited when I meet new dogs, so I will need someone with patience and time to get me used to any new dog friends in my new home, starting with a meet at the shelter with any canine companions. I also need a home without cats or small animals as I enjoy chasing them a little too much. Are you ready to take me home? I am part of the Diamond in the Ruff program, which you can learn more about here! I can't wait to meet you. Primary Color: Brown Brindle Secondary Color: White Weight: 67.8 Age: 2yrs 6mths 2wks
