Dewey's Story
If interested, please contact the foster home. Petfinder Profiles doesn’t always work.<br/><br/>Meet Dewey — the 9 month old adventure pup!<br/><br/>Hi! I’m Dewey — about 48 pounds of pure puppy charm and curiosity. I’m still figuring out this big, exciting world, so sometimes I bark at new things. The hair dryer could damage mom’s hair after all. And the printer is a waste of paper and ink. Someone has to alert mom to these things. With training, I’m getting braver every day. I even visit Home Depot and Tractor Supply like a total pro now, and I do great meeting new people — even the tiny humans. <br/><br/>I’ll be honest: I do pull on leash. I’m working on it. I’ve also met goats, horses, and had a couple of dog meetandgreets, so I’m getting pretty worldly for a youngster.<br/><br/>I’m crate trained, potty trained, and I sleep through the night like a champ. I know sit, down, wait, and touch. And guess what? I’m learning scent work — and apparently my nose is kind of amazing.<br/><br/>My foster mom made this video about me.https://youtube.com/shorts/hgGLqbFRFqk<br/><br/>About Dewey<br/> Potty trained, with zoomies + gentle handmouthing as his “I gotta go!” signal<br/>•Smart, eager to learn, and very treatmotivated<br/> Scenttrained — loves search games indoors and outside<br/>•Quiet boy unless someone is at the door or on the property<br/>• Snow lover who tunnels through it like a goofy little otter<br/>• Needs slow dog introductions; could live with a calm dog or thrive as an only pet<br/>• Needs a medium fenced yard, ideally in a quieter, rural setting<br/>• Leash Reactive at the vet around other dogs, but great with staff<br/>• Best with an owner committed to continued training<br/>• Good with kids, but will absolutely eat their toys<br/>• Must be crated when unattended; needs a durable bed (K9 Ballistics style)<br/>• Managed introductions required — not a fan of lots of inandout visitors<br/>• Once he settles, he’ll be your absolute BEST friend<br/>Dewey is up to date on vaccinations and is neutered.
