Before moving in with my foster dad I had a tough life. As a puppy in Puerto Rico, I survived Hurricane Maria, then some friendly people in Puerto Rico got me off the streets and after moving around a lot I finally found my way to Virginia.
At my foster dad’s I am learning all about being a city dog. We go on long walks, sometimes more than three miles! People say I have incredible stamina. I don’t know what “stamina” is, I just love walks, and love walks with my people the most. I even have my own raincoat and my own winter coat, so neither rain, cold, nor snow can slow me down!
On my walks, I meet a lot of people and dogs. I love all people, but sometimes I get too excited and bark to tell the other dogs about my excitement. I’m doing a really good job learning how to better direct my excitement on leash.
I would love a house with a yard and tall fence so I can chase balls and ropes and play outside with you. But even with a fenced yard, I still want to go on our walks together. I get so excited whenever it’s walk time I can’t contain myself.
I’m smart and mastered house training and crate training in two days. I don’t want to brag, but I hear that is some kind of a record.
At home, when I am not napping, I learn new tricks all the time. So far I learned sit, stay, down, shake, high-five (my favorite), look, touch and go-to-bed. But I even though I taught myself that last one, I don’t really like it. I would rather snooze on the couch with you.
Watch a video of my latest trick! I lay down nicely while my foster dad gets my bowls and food ready and then I wait until I am told to “go food!” I also love puzzle toys and am so smart that I figure out all of them quickly.
I love all people, but can sometimes play with a lot of enthusiasm, so a home with older teens (16+) or without kids would be best. When I play with my toys, I try to catch them with my front paws, but that almost never works, something about not having thumbs.
So, what are you waiting for? I’m irresistible and a great snuggler. If that’s what you need in your family — and you and I both know it’s what you need — email and ask about me.
