Ghost is an affectionate, energetic pup who thrives on companionship and loves being close to his people. Whether it’s curling up beside you, resting his head on your chest, or trying to sneak into the shower with you, he always wants to be part of the action. He’s incredibly sweet and loving, but he also has bursts of extreme excitement—especially when it’s time to go outside. Ghost gets so eager for walks or yard time that he’ll try to rush out the door, so he needs a firm hand to help him learn patience and control. Once out on a walk, he pulls quite a bit at first but settles into a better rhythm after some time. With consistent training and plenty of exercise, he has the potential to be an excellent walking or adventure buddy. Ghost’s high energy means he’s best suited for a home without small children for now, as he doesn’t always realize his size and can be a bit of a whirlwind when excited. He’s been around other dogs, including his foster’s family dogs, and has done well with proper introductions, so he could likely thrive in a home with a playful canine companion. While he was a bit anxious early on and chewed a few things, he has since settled in and has not been destructive for months. He’s trustworthy when left alone, loves car rides (though he benefits from a secured leash for safety), and enjoys a good bath. Ghost would do best in an active home with a family or individual who is around often and can provide him with plenty of physical and mental stimulation. A yard to run in and frequent walks or activities would help him burn off energy and continue his progress in learning manners. With structure, patience, and the right environment, Ghost will be an incredibly fun, loving, and loyal companion!
