sweet, happy, loving, smart, and eager-to-learn puppy. I work hard to be a good listener and pay attention when my humans tell me to do something. My foster mom says I'm a really quick learner.
While I'm living with my foster family, I'm learning how to stay calm when I see and meet people – I'm learning to sit when I'm introduced so I don't jump. I'm getting good at commands like sit, down and come. I'm starting to learn 'leave it', 'stay' and 'be easy'.
Companionship is my superpower. I follow my foster mom and dad around to keep them company (not because I'm anxious), and I'm learning the ropes of leash walking. I went to the farmers' market this past weekend and had a blast!
A funny thing about me is that I get the zoomies first thing in the morning and after dinner, only for about 10 minutes. It's crazy how fast I am! And, it's impressive that I settle right down after I run out of my need for speed.
Like all dogs, I shed, but with a bit of hair care, it can be kept to a minimum. During the day, I prefer to be out where I can be close to people, but I sleep all night in my crate without complaining. I have a microchip, all my shots, and am spayed.
I love to play with other dogs, and I am not afraid or reactive to children. Children are pretty new to me, but I want to be friends with them without chasing them.
Food is yummy, but I don't worry about dogs or people stealing my food. Here's another funny thing about me - when my humans are eating, I get curious to know what they're eating, but then I'm happy to go lay down quietly and wait for them to finish their meal. I have a healthy coat, have a great figure at 29 lbs and don't have any skin issues. I'm proud to say that I'm an all-around healthy pup.
Bonus: I'm already potty-trained! I'll let you know when I have to go, and like all my furry friends, I depend on you to listen when I ask.
I chew on chew toys - not furniture, and I don't dig up flowerbeds or the lawn. I love to watch what's going on around me. Squirrels, bugs and birds fascinate me - I love to watch them scurry around and try to pounce on them. I'll steal a sock now and then, but only to run around or play hide and seek – I don't chew them up or ruin them.
That's me in a nutshell!
So now you might be wondering what I'm hoping for from a forever family. My best love match is a family ready for a devoted cuddle-rific companion. With consistent love, positive guidance and reinforcement, I will grow through puppyhood into the lifelong family member we all want me to be.
And, of course, I need my family to sprinkle in some patience for my occasional puppy-like behavior, bursts of energy and enthusiasm.
In return, I'll be my family's agreeable, sweet and devoted lifelong friend for everyday living and adventure – hiking, traveling, gardening, walking, and quiet lounging. I am a genuine joy and a goofball who brings smiles and laughter to the people around me.
Hope to see you soon.
