Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Behaviors: Palmer is slowly learning that he is safe and loved. He is figuring out his foster family’s daily routines and is starting to fit right in. He is a super eater and sleeper and wants to
play with his foster brothers but they aren’t too interested (they are older and grumpy). Palmer
doesn’t seem to be too scared of strangers that come to the door and has been friendly to any neighbor dogs that he’s encountered. He sometimes barks at his foster dad but lets him hold and pet him when foster dad picks him up. He frequently wants to his foster mom to hold him and carry him around, so she doesn’t get her chores done sometimes. He loves the soft treats he gets after going potty outside but hasn’t learned to take those treats from his human's hands.
Cats: untested
Other dogs: No aggression and tries to play occasionally
Children: untested but we’ve seen no reason to believe he wouldn’t be great will any age kids
Adults: Nervous but overall curious and soon wants to be cuddled.
Potty Training Progress: great! No accidents or marking since the first full week after coming into foster care. He often scratches at the door or rings the bell on the door but sometimes that just means he wants to go outside to explore, not necessarily that he needs to potty.
Crate training: Perfect from night 1. Sleeps all night in his crate in the fosters’ bedroom without
a peep. Also does well in his crate while the humans are away from the house.
Leash Training: He doesn’t love it, sometimes biting at it when we’re in the front yard. Due to
the awful weather conditions we’ve had since he’s been in care, he’s had almost zero opportunity to take walks. Once the weather dries and warms up, we think he’ll love taking short walks with his foster brothers.
Great things about Palmer: Palmer is very smart and eager to please. He takes correction well although he needs very little of it. He can use the doggie door and runs up the stairs but
hasn’t figured out going downstairs yet. If you’re looking for a 9lb purse puppy, he would love to be your guy. As his name implies, he’s “simply irresistible” but also possibly “addicted to love”
