Hi, my name is Forest and I am as cute as a bug's ear. I am a youngster who has a ton to learn, discover and explore and I am counting on you to help me safely navigate the world and experience new things each day to allow me to grow into a confident young dog. I am a friendly lad who can be a bit shy when I first meet someone, so I appear to be a wallflower; once I am comfortable with someone the lover-boy inside me is sure to shine through. Puppies are rambunctious, playful, lively and fun but do require a certain amount of work and effort to raise properly, so I will need my new family to be committed. Many things that seem common ordinary to you are completely new to me so I need you to be my advocate and give me time to experience things at my own pace. Although I should always be relatively small, I will grow a bit more as I mature to adulthood and I would love to take some classes with you to learn proper manners and social skills so I am the gentleman welcome everywhere we go. I will need to practice something called house-training so that I know proper potty behavior. A routine, lots of yummy treats and praise will go a long way to helping me master house-training when I use the outside facilities. Puppies and dogs need love, exercise, mental stimulation and consistency to be healthy, happy and confident. I should be very open to all sorts of housemates; I can be a bit mischievous and may find any other critter as a potential playmate so they will need to understand that about me. I often explore the world with my mouth and while I am teething I like to chew; my little puppy teeth are very sharp so if I am around children we should always be supervised. It is important that children learn about respecting me, too, and treat me gently because I am sensitive and fragile. Raising a puppy is a big responsibility, a lot of work, and it may interrupt your sleep cycle for a bit, but a courteous and well-behaved dog is certainly worth the investment and I promise to be loyal, love you unconditionally and be a companion forever. I think we can share a magnificent life together filled with many exciting days, joyous moments and snuggly nights. Come by to meet me in person and prepare to be impressed.
