Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Obi, the goofy, lovable pup who's sure to steal your heart and bring endless joy to your home! Obi's a playful, silly dog who loves exploring new environments and making friends-whether they're human, canine, or feline.
Obi hasn't had much time to interact directly with other dogs, but he's shown a friendly curiosity towards them, even play-bowing through the fence at a smaller neighbor dog. This good boy also gets along fabulously with the two senior male cats in his foster home. He's respectful of their boundaries, showing no chase impulse, and loves inviting them to play.
Obi is a champ when left alone. He adores his crate, viewing it as his safe haven, making it the perfect spot for him to chill when you're out. He's generally house trained, though he might have an accident if left alone for more than six hours-regular potty breaks will keep him on track.
Health-wise, Obi has a heart murmur, but it doesn't slow him down. He's working on his basic obedience skills-sitting is tough due to his physical condition, and he's still learning to consistently respond to his name. Despite this, Obi is incredibly respectful of humans and other animals, always a joy to be around.
Obi's ideal day? Playing with his beloved toys, engaging in a rousing game of tug-of-war, and exploring new sights and smells. Despite his adventurous spirit, Obi is low-energy and loves lounging around just as much as he loves exploring.
If you're looking for a sweet, low-maintenance companion with a playful spirit, Obi is your perfect match. Follow his journey on Instagram at @dayswiththepack and get ready to fall in love with this adorable pup!
