Rusty enjoyed being out and about but even more so really enjoyed just being home and getting to lay and relax by me on the couch. He seems so much more relaxed, comfortable, and happy being home. He is an angel.
* Crate trained and likes it! - as soon as I set it up to test it out and put a bed and blanket in there he walked right in and laid down with a big smile.
* Seems to be house trained - no accidents in the house and left him out alone for ~30 min and he just chilled on the couch. Has not gotten into anything or even attempted to.
* Quiet, hasn’t barked once and not phased or reactive at all to resident dogs barking
* Very sweet and gentle, likes to be by you
* People and kid friendly - met multiple people and a toddler on daycation - enjoys pets and is very gentle
* Dog neutral and not reactive at all to other dogs.
* A little shy when meeting other dogs. I think he’d really benefit from and enjoy living with another dog to help him build his confidence. I can see him coming out of his shell and being playful with other pups once he settles in
* Zero negative behaviors or reactions to other dogs or people - met big dogs and both male and female
* Low energy and no jumping
* Walks great on the leash but may pull a little if he gets nervous (light rail going by when walking on the rail trail made him a little nervous)
* Rides well in the car. Curious about his surroundings and where we’re going but lays down and is pretty calm
* takes treats gently
* had cosmetic surgery last week to remove a lump at the base of his tail. Healing great and he is not phased at all by it!
* skin needs some tlc but doesn’t seem to bother him. Doesn’t itch or lick
•Easy on leash, no pulling and stays right with you
•Hops right in the car
•Sweet & affectionate but in the sweetest way. Not pushy or demanding at all
•I think he would easily bond to his human(s)
•Slept quietly in our mudroom by himself
•Quiet rider but can be a little nervous when in motion
•Needs time to think about and get used to his environment
•No accidents in the house while we had him here (seems potty trained)
•Not reactive to anything we encountered (hikers, dogs, lawn care tools
