Story
- A cuddle bug in bed; wants to lie right next to you and will steal all the pillows - Playful and still has a good amount of puppy energy - Gives the biggest hugs - Always excited to meet a new friend - Knows sit and got a good start on off and down in his foster home; has good recall and is very food-motivated and eager to learn when snacks are involved - he'll catch treats in the air, too!- Rides well in the car and will jump right in when you open the door - Can be a puller so a harness is ideal for walks, and his foster family said he walked nicely for them with that- Did well kenneled and free-roaming for short periods of time when his foster family was gone - Was fully housetrained in his foster home and would circle the area and start to whimper when he needed to go out; just remember that any dog may need time to get used to a new routine - Struggled with overarousal in his foster home when he got too excited, but was very gentle about his mouthiness; hasn't quite figured out that hands aren't toys or that they don't always have food in them - Plays hard and will do best in a home where all family members are old enough and mature enough to enjoy his energy- Was indifferent and preferred not to interact with dogs in his foster home, and in the shelter he has been socially awkward and avoidant with other dogs; to set him up for success, he needs to be the only dog in his home right now- We don't know his history with cats - Not all that big of a dog and has fairly short legs, which make him extra cute This pet qualifies for our 7-day Foster-to-Adopt program.
