Hi, I'm Diez! Yep... that means "10" in Spanish :). I am 10 months old of puppy love and my friends at The Puerto Rico Dog Fund tell me I am all checked out and ready to find my forever home. I am STOKED!
First, a little about me: I am so playful, joyful, and have puppy energy mixed with my growing adult tendencies of patience, trainability, and good manners. I am in LOVE with kitties, and if I check them out and they don't swat at me, I love to play with them. Check out my foster kitty friend in one of the pics and video - that's Kitty Kitty Meow Meow (KKMM) and she and I love to play! We are buddies. Other dogs are AWESOME and I love to play with them all, but my real joy comes from my people... and, of course, they LOVE me!
I am very affectionate, and I listen well. I am a "Velcro Dog" because I want to be near the action, but they say I am not a whiney one... I just want to be around these fun, two-legged beings and go on adventures with you. :) I am potty trained and already puppy pen trained, so when it's time for human quiet time or just to chill out a bit, I go right in at "kennel up" and relax. I like to go in there with my favorite chewies and pop back out to play. Do you know fresh coconuts from the beach are a BLAST to play with?!?!? I sleep overnight without ANY fuss and no accidents.
I love to eat! I am treat motivated and learning the leash really well. So far, all I know is that when the long rope comes out, there is cheese in the human pockets so I pay attention REAL good. In less than two weeks, I came on command (they let me run in the unfenced house yard because I am so good!), I sit, I "try" to stay (they tell me my puppy brain has a good jump on this skill), I "kennel up" the few times I cannot join an adventure, I go potty outside, and I really love my house routine at my foster home. Also, we go on adventures to the beach, to the park, and to new places with ALL the smells... what do you have at your house for me to check out?
Do I sound like the doggie you have been searching for?? Apply at PRDF.org and they promised me they will choose the best home for me to grow up in. Thanks for meeting me!
