Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Chico has come a long way since being in foster care with the same family for two months. He got shuffled around when we first pulled him from the pound through no fault of his own. He was very self protective and growled when touched sometimes. He is a happy little guy now and handles touching all over. He was groomed last week and handled that well. He loves to be in the same room with people and is just content to hang out. He does not ask for much other than companionship. He tolerates all dogs and when they try to get playful with him he just stands there or walks away.. He never gets upset even with two that I have that get pushy and jealous at times.
He walks well on a leash and is housebroken and crate trained. In the beginning he would lift his leg when left alone but that seems to have abated also. He loves is greenies and does chew on a rawhide for short spells but does not seem to know about toys. He follows me around and even outside will only venture out on the lawn and then comes right back to our patio.
I would still like to seem him go to a home without small children because I feel he may startle easily and become self protective. We do not know his background so we don't know if he has a reason to be that way. Chico seemed to have some nervous jumpiness which also appears to have lessened. He has become an adorable little happy boy and I hope we can find a home for him where that continues.
