He would love to engage in scent work activities. A brief background about Specks is that he had a rough start at life and came to us extremely emaciated and weighed half of his current body weight! He lived a life of extreme neglect but has shown resilience as he has come such a long way and is quickly learning that humans are friends and can be trusted. He has shown so much enthusiasm in learning new skills and tricks and is mastering his sits and stays, going to his place and waiting patiently for his meals! He is super chill but enjoys a nice daily walk! He sleeps in a crate at night, which he prefers a plastic crate over a wire one because it feels more den like and safer to him. He is consistently working on his basic commands and is very food motivated! Speckles bonds very closely with his person and will be an excellent companion and couch snuggler! Speckles is a thoughtful fellow who prefers to take his time when meeting new people and will need a little grace. Your patience and gentle approach will mean the world to him as he settles in. He needs to feel safe and loved. Once he does, be prepared for a playful, charming companion to emerge! This sweet boy would thrive in a home with adults and older, calm respectful children are best!
