He is very friendly towards other dogs and likes to play. Amos enjoys cuddling with humans and likes soft blankets. Amos is a good walker, but he is fast and can pull on the leash. He is sweet toward strangers and loves attention and affection. He was a staff and volunteer favorite at the shelter and is blossoming with the love he is getting in his foster home. He is potty trained on a schedule and loves to go on his walks! He also does a reverse sneeze sometimes when he pulls too hard on his leash. He is quickly calmed with a pick up or throat stroking and prances on again. Amos seems to relish his friendship with his foster sibling dog and would likely do well in a home with another doggy friend! He does have some separation anxiety and will cry when he is not with his humans. <br/>This adorable guy is ready for a forever home! <br/><br/>INTERESTED IN THIS PUP?
