My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Contact the foster at, marisohayes629@gmail.com

Rockstar Behavior:
-VERY Good with our older dog
-Loves human contact
-Not at all aggressive
-Plays with pull and chew toys
-Likes going on walks (sniffer and watcher)
-Great in the yard…NOT a fence jumper
-Great in the house…NOT destructive
-Not dog reactive: Plays VERY well with other dogs
-Takes treats well
-Not food aggressive
-Extremely minimal barking…quiet fella
-Fully house trained, even through the night

Challenges:
-Needs some help learning to walk well on a leash
-Mild separation anxiety (but not destructive and much better when left with another dog)
-Strong but submissive
-Tall guy who can and will reach unattended food on counters

Would likely do best with a home:
With another dog (he loves to be near our older dog) or a human with lots of time to keep him near
With owners who take walks, go on hikes, etc.

Would likely NOT do well in a home:
-Where he is left alone for long stretches/Isolated
-Where he is expected to be a guard dog

Usure about:
-Cats (no exposure yet)
