Story
Newman is sensitive, watchful, a bit intense, playful with his peers and sensitive to what humans through his way. He's a cool dog, ready for dog savvy folks willing to give him a bit of patience, lots of love, ongoing socialization - he loves other dogs and playtime!
He's handsome, frisky and wiry good fun. We also know that Newman is not comfortable around young children and toddlers - so ideally an adult home (not expecting to have children) would be best for Newman. He needs collar and leash work and is a little more independent - he take a little time to warm up to people, but he does and is a sweetheart.
Newman is a very good boy: intelligent, sensitive, compliant, and wants to please. He is friendly with people and dogs; he is submissive and avoids trouble, and I think he'd love another dog he could play with. He loves exploring in the yard. He also is perfect crated at night. He readily goes in and sleeps silently all night. He has had no house training mishaps.
- Some notes from his foster:
From the past few weeks of caring for him, we can confirm that his bio accurately describes him. He's watchful, aware, sensitive, inquisitive, and incredibly sweet. His love language is touch, and he loves a good snuggle and head rub. He is highly intelligent and learns tricks quickly (we've taught him a few tricks -- sit, down, place in his kennel, paw, and stay). He's learned to sit and wait for our cue when we feed him.
I noticed that his bio mentions that he's playful. However, I've only seen him play with other Milo dogs at the park near the rescue (I believe it's because he's most comfortable at that park), but when we bring him to other outdoor parks, he doesn't seem interested in other dogs. He's much more interested in sniffing the area, However, he is very attuned to other dogs' energies. He respects other dogs' boundaries (like with our resident dog), and when he's in the mood when other dogs initiate play, he plays along.
He would do well in a home that allows him space to roam freely in their home. At night, he sleeps in his crate. We've noticed that he has isolation anxiety when being left alone in a room, but we confirmed that he does not have separation anxiety as we've left him free roaming in our home for a few hours with no issues. - 1/2025
