Hi there, I'm Stuart! I'm young and full of life. I love exploring and finding new things to sniff and play with. My curiosity knows no bounds! I'm also a bit of a goofball, I love to make people laugh with my silly antics. I already mastered the command 'sit' and patiently wait for my treats. I went on a little staycation in a foster home and the foster reported that I only went potty outside in the yard and I quietly slept in the crate. They also gave me a nice bath, which i looooved! I'm looking for a furever home where I can share all my love and energy. So, why not consider adopting me? I promise to be your best friend and the most loyal companion you could ever ask for! He was in a temporary foster home with his doggy friend Crunchy, and got great reviews! Regarding children, the foster said 'We have a total of 6, but they mostly were around the 13-, 16- and 17-year-olds. The pups were great and playful with all. They loved attention, but weren't needy. We would be outside watching them, and whenever they got tired of chasing each other, they would just come lay down by us.'
Ideal Home: The ideal home for Stuart would be one with either another dog or an active family such as walks, back yard time, toys in the house. Stuart is a typical puppy and just likes to be a part of the fun but is not overbearing. The continued confinement at the shelter is hard for him wanting to be so active and play all the time. He enjoys chew toys a lot. He is easily walked and handled every day and by several different people. Many dogs aren't meant for shelter life as stressful as it is so just want this to support his need for an active lifestyle and/or other dog to help him play. I don't believe he needs extra stimulation but just not intended to be a couch potato dog. He was adopted at 4 months old and was in a home for 3-4 days. The adopters reported that he was grumbly towards people at the door. Likely from knocking as the temp foster home reported that he would bark when someone knocked but didn't have any issues with them entering. Has greeted all strangers happily!
