PA/OBOE - BRITTANY (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Brittany (medium coat). Hey Everyone, I’m Oboe a super active 2 year old Liver and White male searching for a place to call home Forever! Right now, I’m enjoying the good life in a wonderful foster home here in Northwest PA. I’m up to date on vaccine, neutered, heartworm negative, on prevention, and micro-chipped. I’m also mostly housetrained but my foster Mom still keeps an eye on me and takes me out him about every 2 hours just so I don’t forget. I don’t soil my crate, which I’m not a big fan of. Sometimes, I like to squeal in my crate if I see my foster in the vicinity of my crate and she is not getting me out fast enough. I’m learning to be more patient especially when my foster Mom says “enough”. I’m looking for family who is as active as me. A family who might like to go hiking, boating, swimming or are the outdoors type would be ideal. I don’t tire easily so I will need plenty of exercise so my new home must also include a good size physically fenced yard too. I also LOVE the water! I enjoy splashing in it, taking drinks while I sit in it, I will also dive into it or blow bubbles through my nose in it, anything with water! I love going on walks. My foster Mom says I’m doing fairly well on lead with a firm command to go ‘easy’. I’m also working on “sit”, “leave it”, “off”, “come” and “wait”. I’m getting pretty good with ‘come’, but I do needs occasional reminders for ‘wait’ (both at doors leading to outside and when exiting my crate). I do well with “off” but “sit” and “leave it” are still a work in progress. I also love playing with toys, however, toys of cloth are not a good match for me. I do like to shred them into small pieces and have even eaten a few of those pieces. I’m learning “don’t tear it up” with minimal success. I also enjoy chew bones, large nylabones and buffalo horns. My foster Mom says I’m the best at de-stuffing non-squeaky toys too. I will also play fetch, but really don’t like to bring the toy back, instead running off with it. I get along good with other dogs especially younger ones who love to run and play like I do. I also enjoy chasing bugs, butterflies, and bird in the yard. However, I’m not a fan of cats and it’s recommend my new home also be small dog free. I enjoy people very much and get along great with Women the most. I am can be timid around men at times, not in a mean way, I just find then scary at times. With the help of my foster Mom(s) I am getting better at trusting men and don’t always feel the need to run and hide behind them. I now try to stretch as far as I can to give a sniff while still staying beside my foster Moms. I have even taken a treat from some who’ve stopped and crouch down with me too. So I’m Slowly learning that men maybe ok but my new home will need to have at least 1 adult female around willing to have a shadow. I’m good with children but I may knock little one around, so a home with children 8 and above would also be best.
