Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Amphibian Man was so named for his paws, that developed oddly, likely from being stored in a crate for way too long. But now he is free and loves the world. He even wags his tale for a bath! I call this boy `Poppy,` and it suits him. He is bright and affectionate and really wants to be a good boy! Because he had so little interaction with other people or animals, Poppy is not sure how to share his affection; the only thing he knows to do is to mouth and nibble at the humans, but he`s getting better and is learning to give kisses. Poppy would also love to be a lap dog. He crates very well if I go out and he crates at night, too. A couple of times we have napped together and he was just fine. He loves his toys. Poppy has done well with a couple of playgroups and he has so much potential, he could be a great companion to another animal. He is mostly house broken, but dislikes the cold, so he`ll try to sneak around the house every now and then. His ideal home will be with adults and older children. I think he would do well with other dogs too.
