Adoption Fee:
Good with Dogs? Yes
I love to play and meet dogs with proper introductions. I forget that I am a big guy sometimes, and can be a little too much for some dogs.
Good with Cats? No
Good with Kids? Yes
Older kids are best - I tend to jump when I'm excited ... hey! That's something we can work on with some positive reinforcement training I've heard about!
Critter Twitter:
I am one huge, sweet guy who loves to snuggle with my people. Although I am a big guy I can curl up on the couch beside you and snooze. I love my stuffies, but my foster Mom only lets me have them sometimes because I like to rip them up, so I get a lot of bones instead. I also love to bring your shoes to you, but don’t worry I won’t wreck them. My foster Mom calls me a gentle giant. #gentleboy
About my Behaviour:
I am always on my best behaviour when my foster parents leave and am fully house trained and non-destructive. I can reach the counter so if there is food there I will probably have some snacks. I’m too big for a crate, but like to be in my own space when I get over excited. I'm on fluoxetine and gabapentin to help slow me down while my foster shows me how to settle and redirect myself through training.
I need to learn better leash manners, I have been learning to walk on leash but I tend to pull when I see something to chase. Let's go for some positive reinforcement training together - I hear it's a great bonding experience for both of us and I'm super excited about that!
I like to sing and chase people when they walk by the fence. I am learning how to greet better.
How’s my Health?
I am a perfectly healthy guy! My foster parents give me glucosamine to keep my hips in the best shape. I love to run and jump and you would never tell that I am an older guy.
I am neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed.
