My story

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

 



DESCRIPTION:

Fabulous Fatu was picked up as a stray and brought to a shelter. This charismatic boy easily won over staff members and even had the chance to meet some older children. Although it seemed that Fatu had been loved by someone along his way, no one came forward to bring him home. As shelters are beyond overwhelmed with dogs needing placement, many dogs end up on the list to be euthanized. Recognizing that this boy was very special, the rescue community began working together to try to find a temporary foster and rescue placement for this sweet guy. Teamwork was Fatu's saving grace. Working with several different groups and an amazing foster family, MAGSR was able to pull Fatu the day he was scheduled to be euthanized. We cannot thank the rescue community enough for all of their support. 

Fabulous Fatu is a young, happy, and intelligent guy. Still a juvenile, he can display some typical puppy energy, particularly when playing with other dogs. However, for his age, Fatu is surprisingly calm and gentle. It is beyond evident that this guy has been loved and well socialized by someone prior to his arrival. A sweet, chill guy, Fatu enjoys the company of people and other dogs particularly when given a few minutes to warm up. With so many changes in his life lately, we cannot blame this handsome guy for wanting a minute to adjust. Although we do not know much about his past, it is clear that Fatu understands many of the ins and outs of living in a household. He is housebroken and is doing a fantastic job with crate training. A huge fan of cuddles and soft, warm beds, Fatu enjoys the comforts and security of living in a home. As is true of all new dogs, Fatu will need time to adjust to the routines and expectations of his forever family. With time, patience, structure, and leadership, we know that Fatu will thrive. Like many young dogs, Fatu does need to learn some leash manners. Training and continued socialization will be key to his success. Training will not only help him create a strong, healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Fatu's gentle nature and cautious curiosity make him a wonderful companion for anyone looking for a sweet, easygoing friend. If this handsome boy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today.
