"starscream" because he likes to scream, but was a part of a litter that was named after transformers! lol He is a sweet special puppy who arrived to our rescue with his mom & two other siblings at just 2 days old and has been in a foster home ever since. He likes being held in your arms, and enjoys getting affection and belly rubs. He LOVES to fetch and play with all kinds of toys. Are you the right family for Star? Since his other siblings have been adopted, Star has been feeling quite nervous about the big wide world, and will need a family that will be patient with showing him new experiences, keep his world small, and grow his world at his pace. Continuing puppy classes, puppy socials, and low-stake experiences that he learns are positive will help him gain confidence over time. He's not going to be a puppy you can take with you everywhere and big adventures meeting lots of new people and dogs are going to scare him. He will benefit from a calm home that is gentle, loving, and patient. In return, he will be your loving companion, and with your guidance will grow into a brave pup who will always be by your side! As a young puppy, he's learning lots of things like potty training, crate training, some very basic tricks like "sit" and "touch". He sleeps great in a crate throughout the night by his foster mom's bed, and if he needs to go out in the early morning for a potty he'll wake you up with a cute little yowl to let you know he's up. He knows how to settle in a crate for a few hours when he has to be left alone, and will wait patiently for you to let him out when you get back. His potty training skills are going great, and knows what "go potty" means, but of course will need continued positive reinforcement and chaperoning to go outside.
