Backstory: Candy Corn was found abandoned and tied to a fence at an abandoned property. He had obviously not been treated kindly in the past and was not used to being handled or loved.

Additional info/personality comments: Candy Corn is a giant puppy who needs to be active to keep his mind occupied. He needs a patient family to show him the way of the world. He is an amazing dog who has came a long way in a short time. He will become even better as time progresses and he can have an active life and his very own family.

Canadian Foster Comments: Candy Corn is a very friendly dog who is both food and affection motivated. He loves to be around people and gets along well with his foster sister. He's super easy to train, and his leash manners have improved drastically. He can walk on leash without pulling with a firm handler. He likes to be active, but is also a big snuggle bug and enjoys being a couch potato. He would do well in either a house or an apartment as he doesn't seem to need much space. He is still learning some basic commands but is progressing well.
