Story
Is he cute? Yes! Is he funny? Yes! Does he have big personality in a little body! Yes yes! Will he let you pet him? NOPE! This profile is a brutally honest progress report for our brave guy!   I cannot say confidently that humans weren't nice to him or he was just so under socialized he has no reference. What I can say is he does not trust a human hand BUT he wants to engage which is BIG! In a matter of weeks he is taking treats from my hand and from strangers, is excited to see me, will put his paws on me and lick my hands, will work for food, and shows his funny personality. He absolutely loves my dog Rip and will cuddle up next to him. The other dogs in the home have been instrumental for Oliver to watch and learn and he respects the alpha of the house. He has been great with our foster kittens and likes to follow them around and is learning not to chase them.   He is not fully potty trained but is trying his best. I have to go out with him and watch that he is "go potty" and reward him with a "yes, good boy" and treats. He will gladly get out of your way if you walk towards him but will follow so close behind you he'll give you a flat tire. He does sleep through the night with us in bed because laying down is a very non threatening position and I am hoping it builds trust with him. I have not been able to get a collar or harness on him yet but we are working on that. He is making huge strides in his kennel training when I go to work or leave the house. When I need him to go in there I do have to somewhat corral him with a yoga mat but he is going in there much much easier as we keep practicing.   He loves his toys and shouldn't be left alone with stuff toys because he eats them.  ##2605241##

Dane is a very unique and gentle little guy. He is the shyest of the three and may need a little extra time to warm up, but he is slowly learning that people can be kind and loving.Once he feels safe, Dane shows his sweet personality. He is full of quiet love and it is absolutely adorable when he gets the zoomies and lets his playful side come out.Dane has been around our three children and our husky and does well with them. He is also crate trained, and he goes into his crate calmly when it’s time to sleep or when the family leaves the house.Dane will thrive in a patient, loving home that is excited to help him continue learning how good life can be. ##2667739##

While he may come in a compact, wrinkled Pug package, Blue clearly didn't get the memo on his size. He carries himself with the athletic spirit and social grace of a retriever, making him the perfect bridge between lap dog luxury and big-dog adventure. Blue is a master of the Lab lifestyle. He possesses a bottomless appetite for snacks, an unwavering devotion to his human pack, and a tail that wiggles with the intensity of a rudder. Unlike your typical sedentary Pug, Blue loves to be in the middle of the action, whether that means supervising a game of fetch or joining the big dogs for a romp in the yard. He has a sturdy, resilient nature and a heart that is far too large for his ribcage. If you are looking for a companion who offers the hilarious charm of a Pug with the loyal, easy-going temperament of a Lab, Blue is ready to join your lineup.Want to adopt this dog?
