Foster dog for Adoption

Austin TX

Description

He has never met a person he doesn't like. He loves all people he meets either outside or when they come to the house. I haven't seen him interact with small children, but I believe he would love to play with some bigger ones (9-10+) His favorite toys are stuffed animals with squeakers in them. He also loves his tennis ball even though he can't catch. He lkes to swat it around and chase it before doing a bunny hop and pouncing on it. If it goes somewhere that he believes is out of bounds, like between the sofa and a chair, he either picks it up and backs out of the space or just decides it's irretrievable. He is extremely trustworthy when left alone in the house. He's house trained, has never chewed up anything he shouldn't (stuffed animals are a differrnt story) and doesn't get separation anxiety. He's not afraid of thunderstorms or fireworks. You can be sure when you get back home the only thing he will have done is take a nap. He also doesn't know what a bed it because his foster mom always shuts the bedroom door before going to sleep so if you don't want a dog in your bed, he's your guy. He loves car rides more than anything. He'll stick his head out the window and let his ears flap in the breeze. He enjoys curbside pickups and drive throughs to the bank or pharmacy. He has some fear-based reactivity to other dogs so he needs to be an only pet and can't go places where it's likely he'll be around other dogs. He's a homebody in that way. He would love to live somewhere with a yard - even a small one would be great. As long as its got a dog sized spot in the sun he'll be happy. He often "trances" around a plant with leaves that hang down to where they touch his back. He walks in very slow circles around them. He’s 4 years old, weights 65 pounds and is neutered.
