Meet Pilaf! This 4-month-old American Eskimo dog currently weighs 18 lbs. This cute fellow shines like the brightest star in the sky
General Behavior: Pilaf is a nervous pup at first but he is quick to warm up to his person. He follows his foster mom around the house 90% of the time but if he hears any sound, he goes immediately to investigate what is going on. If anyone walks in the house or makes an unexpected move or sound, he will bark at them. Once Pilaf is comfortable, though, he will win your heart with his joyful expressions, hugs, and kisses. He is very smart and active and will need vigorous exercise several times a day and frequent mental challenges. ,
Likes & Dislikes Pilaf loves lots of physical exercise and mental stimulation. He is an expert-level runner, jumper, and climber. He would play 24/7 if he could; he is always ready for a new adventure and for constant attention. He likes squeaky toys. If you throw the toy(s) far out, he fetches them. He also likes to chew on his bone toy. If he doesn’t have toys around, he becomes very creative and will invent his own game: if you have a party coming up, he can make confetti out of any paper of any size or color. He can’t stay still unless he is tired out. Then, he loves belly rubs and snacks! Pilaf likes a treat like a couple of organic cookies late afternoon, or edamames.
Training: Pilaf is a smart cookie! He dis doing well with his housetraining. While he needs to be taken out frequently, he will let you know when he needs to go out. He is a good passenger in the car, He has learned that not all food is his and respects other’s dogs’ bowls. He knows a few commands: sit, no, out, let’s go outside. He acquired leash skills and some socialization.
Medical Pilaf is a healthy boy! He just needs his monthly flea and heartworm preventatives, like any dog. He also needs a forever family in the central Florida region (Orlando area) who can commit to taking him to his final puppy vetting appointments. These have already been scheduled at one of Poodle and Pooch Rescue's vetting partners and the cost is covered by the adoption donation.
Other Animals: Pilaf is okay with other dogs He would like to play with them, however he can be rough at times and he can overwhelm calmer and smaller dogs with his attempts to play. Having other mid-size dogs at home that like playing rough would be ideal or he'd be just fine as the only canine king in his castle too. He has not been observed around cats.
Children: Pilaf can be very energetic, so he needs a home with active adults only..
Home: Pilaf would do best in a single-family home with a fenced in yard because he likes to be in the yard often and likes to run around. He'd do best in a home where someone is at home - he wouldn't be good home alone for more than a couple hours a few times a week.
Grooming: Pilaf's coat is coat is soft, elegant, majestic. He requires a fair amount of combing and brushing at home, but not too much elaborate grooming.
Overall: Pilaf is an outstanding pup who wants an active family to enjoy life.
