Story
Hi. I'm Horace and my foster mom wants me to tell you some things about me. First, thanks for rubbing my belly. I can tell you're the kind of person I'd like to get to know better because having my belly rubbed is the first step that leads to all out snuggling, especially after I‘ve exhausted all my puppy energy, when, my foster mom says, I'm "the best snuggler."That's right: I'm "the best." And, I'm also still a puppy, sometimes doing puppy things, like jumping and puppy-nipping when I'm excited. We're working on this. In the meantime, I am learning more every day about how to be a grown-up dog. So I already know "sit," "wait," "out," and "back" (away from door), and I'm working on "stay." When my foster family asks me to, I hand over toys and objects willingly with "drop it." I love taking walks around the neighborhood and am grateful that my foster family is kindly helping me learn not to be so shy around new things.I like treats, squeaky stuffed animals, antlers to chew on, as well as having doggie playmates. I'm crate trained-which is good for a puppy who could get into things left on his own-and I spend time in my crate when my foster family is not home. Being crated next to my dog buddy is the best. In fact, I cry if left in the crate without another dog nearby.I love other dogs. This is probably the most important thing you should know about me. The only forever home for me will already have at least one dog I can be a companion with. In fact, it's a condition for anyone who would like to make me part of their family.Here are a couple of other things you should know. Before I came to AARF, some traumatic things happened to me. I don't know what, but anyway, I had to have one of my legs removed. Does this slow me down? Ha-ha. I am also blind in one eye, so while I play and run and wrestle with my dog friends, my depth perception isn't always good so I can't catch things and sometimes I bump into things.Bottom line: I'm "the softest, cutest," happiest dog, who brings joy wherever I go. What do you think? If you'd like to take me home, please fill out an adoption application at this website-www.animalalliesrescue.org/adoption-application-and choose me, Horace ! My adoption fee is $400 and AARF wants me to tell you that their adoption package covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like me for our forever homes. By the time you meet us, we've already been spayed/neutered (if age appropriate) and microchipped. We've been checked by a veterinarian, and we're up to date on age appropriate immunizations against rabies and DHLPP (distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus). We've been tested for heartworm and other tick borne diseases (4DX), and we've started our heartworm and flea preventive medications. Some of us have had extensive surgeries, dental work, or other necessary procedures. AARF is committed to getting all of us entirely ready for a happy, healthy, love-filled life!
