Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Biscuit is a very energetic, young dog looking for a home with some patience and stability. His ideal family will be home often as the thought of being without his people is just crazy talk. He has lived with other dogs in the past/grown up with them, but he may be a bit much for smaller dogs or ones that can't keep up with his energy level.
Biscuit knows that there will be some growing pains between you and him, but he hopes you'll stick it out together!
His foster says "Biscuit was initially a bit of a handful, but he's steadily improved every single day.
He quickly made it known that he’s not a fan of being left in his crate, even for short periods of time. However, after about five days of consistency, things calmed down considerably. There’s still some crying when he’s in the crate, but much less barking, and he’s much more willing to go in, needing just a gentle nudge without much fuss.
When he’s out in the house, he’s very playful with my dog, who is about the same size. They get pretty rowdy and sometimes a bit out of hand, but he responds well to correction.
They also spend a lot of time lounging on the couch, and Biscuit is a big cuddler! His coat is incredibly soft, and he absolutely loves being petted and touched.
When I have company, Biscuit has been very well-mannered and friendly. He immediately greets guests with a wagging tail, a wiggly butt, and lots of licks.
Biscuit’s main challenges are house and crate training, as well as some resource guarding of his food around other animals. He hasn’t shown any of this behavior toward me, but I would recommend being cautious around young children or other pets."
