or help in locating his family. He was not neutered or microchipped, so not likely a rescue dog. Our vet reached out to see if we could take him in, and thankfully one of the staff members offered to foster him. Radar is being fostered with two human parents, two dogs under 25lbs and two cats, and does well with every member of the family. His foster mom, Kendal, says he's been fun to foster and describes him as a very sweet boy with lots of energy who loves to play. Radar is very adaptable and had very little issue making himself at home. He's good with the two dogs in his foster home, but at times can be annoying to their older dog. Radar has a lot of puppy energy and would be best paired with another young, playful dog. He loves the cats and is very respectful of them. He will play with the kitties as long as they will let him, and when they are tired, he leaves them alone. Radar loves being outside in the backyard and will run laps with the other dogs and chew on sticks. He's a young pup who needs toys to entertain him - ropes, bones, and squeaky toys are all fun in his book.. A home with another playful pup and a fenced backyard where he can run and play is preferred, or he needs an active owner who can give him several long walks a day. Radar is still an adolescent and has only been in his foster home for a week and is learning the rules of home life. He's crate trained, and his foster mom has been using the crate every day. While he will whine when first put in, he does settle down. He's working on potty training and never has potty accidents in his crate. He knows to go potty outside but hasn't yet learned to let you know when he needs to go out. He needs regular breaks and restricted freedom as he learns the rules. Currently, Radar gets most of his exercise in the yard vs. regular walks, so like all young pups, he will need some practice on leash skills. Kendal describes Radar as a confident, social, and friendly dog. He greets people with a lot of enthusiasm and has done very well with everyone he has met. He has not shown any signs of aggression and is submissive when meeting other dogs. He is also very snuggly, and when it's time to nap, he always wants to be right next to you on the couch. This lovable, playful, active pup will make an excellent family dog and bring a lot of fun and joy into your life. Apply today to welcome him home.
