My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

File #24-168Current Foster Location: Renfrew, ON *Please note that we do not typically adopt outside of a 2 hour radius from the foster dogs current location* Dryden is Heartworm positive, and is currently undergoing treatment. Hey there, I'm Dryden! I know I look like a tough guy, but between you and me, Im basically a teddy bear who just wants belly rubs and a cozy spot to nap while you work. Im a huge fan of watching squirrelsthey think theyre so cleverand Im awesome on a leash during our walks. I dont mess up the house, Im fully housetrained, and Ill even sleep wherever you likemy bed, the crate, or close by, keeping an eye on things. Now, Ive heard some dogs play with these things called "toys," but I havent cracked the code yet. Still, I wag my tail in excitement whenever I see them in action. Maybe you could teach me? I thrive in a calm, quiet home with someone who can show me the ropes and give me direction. I need a strong leader, but once I know who's in charge, Im all in! Im on some meds to help with my anxiety, but dont worryIve been doing great in my foster home and can chill in my crate for 8 hours like a pro. All I really want is a human to snuggle with, follow around, and show how much Im ready to love them. Are you that human? Lets find out!
