Story
Hi! I’m Neko. I am a very sweet, curious, intelligent, and good-natured youngster.
I’m a happy, friendly, intelligent boy looking for a home to call my very own. Some good Samaritans found me wandering the streets. Thankfully they took me in and contacted my friends at BAGSR to help find my perfect match. If you're looking for the bestest boy, you've come to the right place!
I’d do great in a home with another dog companion, with an outdoorsy owner, or even a home with active kids. I love meeting new people and have never shown aggressive behavior to any person or dog. I love adventures like long walks, visits to parks, and hikes. I also travel well in the car and go easily into my safety crate.
I’m housebroken and rarely bark or claw at doors to be let in or out—I usually just stand or lie by the door. I sleep in my foster mom and dad's bedroom on a dog bed, and I like to sleep or nap in a cozy corner or against a wall. I also know which rooms in the house are off-limits. I’m comfortable being touched anywhere on my body, including my head, paws and tail, and I’m not possessive of or aggressive around my food or toys.
I’m very quiet and only bark occasionally when I’m startled or if I’m super excited and ready to play—I don’t bark in response to other dogs barking. I might bark a few times at sudden, unfamiliar sounds outside, but I stop quickly. The only time I’ve ever growled is when I’m outside tugging on my play rope, but even then I hardly make any noise.
I really enjoy meeting new people, including kids, and I love playing with other dogs too. I like to be scratched and petted, and often throw a front leg across my humans' arm while lying down in a sort of “hug.” When I’ve had enough of being touched, I just move away.
I’m very good on a leash, rarely tugging, and I’m taking obedience classes, learning commands like “sit,” “heel,” “wait,” “leave it,” and more. I learn very quickly and am eager to please, and love getting treats or praise to reinforce good behavior. My foster parents can even trim my nails easily, a few at a time, alternating a clip with a treat. I take goodies gently and don’t snap or bite.
I absolutely love water, including hoses, sprinklers, and on-leash wades in rivers, and I’m easy to bathe, drying quickly and shedding minimally because I don’t have a thick undercoat like some German Shepherds. I don’t gnaw on furniture, shoes, or anything else in the house except my chew toys, and I don’t dig in the garden. I’m very “handy” with my long, flexible toes that grip almost like a cat’s, using them to grab my toys firmly.
This is a courtesy post and I'll be waiting in Stockton. Hope to meet you!
