My story

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

--FOSTER PUPDATE--
Peppery A170017
30 lb. neutered male, approx 5 months old

​This adorable speckled cutie goes by Puzzle in his foster home, and he is just a sweetie!
-He might start of timid, but warms up quickly - especially if you have snacks. Once comfortable, which doesn't take long, he is affectionate, gives kisses/nibbles, and will happily curl up with you to Netflix and chill.
-He is a total Velcro dog, and wants to be with, and on his people. He will follow you all around the house, and if he can be touching you, he will. His foster mom works from home, so he is used to being with someone during the day.
-He is a quick learner who already knows how to sit, is working on "giving paw", leave it, and responds well to corrections. He is eager to learn more and easily motivated by food.
-He is good with kids, and is currently fostered with a walking 14 month old (when she crawls though, he gets a bit too excited), and a 5 year old.
-He is crate trained, and sleeps in his crate at night but would much prefer spooning in bed with you. He also likes to retreat to his crate for naps during the day, when he needs some space
-He is doing great with potty training, and has even learned to ring bells to alert he needs to go out.
-He does well in the car, and is good on the leash.
-Like most pups, he has burst of energy followed by serious nap time. For his age though, he's pretty chill.
-Loves toys and will keep himself entertained. His foster mom also provides him with a lot of kong, snuffle mats, cardboard and slow feeder enrichments and he really enjoys that.
-He is not fostered with another dog, but has tried to play with his reflection, and a dog he saw through a fence, so he would probably enjoy a canine buddy to play with. He is fostered with 2 cats, and does well with them. But he is a puppy, and does have moments where he wants to try and play with them. So dog savvy cats, and slow introductions are always recommended.
-New things can be scary for him (he hates the vacuum), and will need someone patient and willing to help him be the best puppy he can be.
