Ross is an energetic boy who is estimated to be about 2-3 years old and was picked up as a stray.  He weighs about 70 pounds and is dog friendly.  He loves to run and play with his foster brother, who is a large Rottweiler, and is very gentle with his foster sisters, who are about 50 pounds.  We aren’t sure how he is with little dogs.  We don’t know much about his history, but he is easily frightened, especially with unfamiliar/new situations and is inclined to move away when he is approached or is uncomfortable.  If he initiates contact with you, he will lean against you and loves pets and scratches.  He seems to want love and attention but doesn’t know how to ask for it (or trust that he will receive it).  He doesn’t know many commands (we are working on sit and come) and is somewhat motivated by treats.  His food disappears quickly and he likes to hide his toys in his crate.  He is okay on a leash and likes to run and play when he is comfortable – he is a very fast runner.  With time and patience, he is learning that humans can be loving and trusted.  He would do best in a home with no small children or cats and would enjoy the company of another dog.  His owner should be prepared to be patient and gentle with Ross as he continues to build trust.  The result will be a wonderful companion.
