My name is Gillis D17422!

Hi! I'm Gillis.
From his foster:
Gillis is an extremely sweet boy who loves to snuggle. He appreciates a calm manner of meeting to boost his confidence as he can is skittish.

He is good on a leash but needs to work on pulling especially if he sees a squirrel. He's athletic and agile with energy to burn. He loves to be outside and would enjoy a fenced yard. He needs a lot of exercise and would make a great running partner.

Gillis is potty trained, but he marked when initially introduced to our home so watch him closely the first few days to promptly correct the behavior, use a belly band, and I think he'll quickly be a well behaved member of your home without too much fuss.

He loves playing with our 4 mo foster puppy and the neighbor dog and is extremely interested in other dogs while on walks. He doesn't know quite what to think of our resident cat who stands his ground and Gillis stays back but will give chase if the cat runs. Seeing how gentle he is with plush toys he may be able to coexist with some cats.

I cannot overemphasize how sweet this boy is. He is surprisingly docile if you want to open his mouth and look at his teeth or handle his paws if you've earned his trust.

He slept perfectly in a crate the first night he was with us, but bonded very quickly with me and is prone to some separation anxiety so I let him sleep in my bed and he's been great. He has quickly earned my trust around the house though someone has been home with him all day.

For an experienced owner without shared walls, Gillis has the potential be a stellar companion.
