His vet office has 2 office cats and he has greeted them well.<br/><br/>Good with kids: He has not lived with kids but has been good interacting with babies, toddlers, and teenagers.<br/>Good with strangers: Yes. He is very happy to see visitors and will go up and say hello and solicit attention from them.<br/>Resource guarding issues: He would guard his food bowl from the other dog he lived with so they were fed separately. He has not guarded anything else from dogs or people.<br/><br/>Ever bitten a human: No<br/><br/>Ever bitten a dog: No<br/>Fears:<br/>Housetrained: Yes. He has always lived in an apartment and peed and pooped on walks. He is Pee Pad trained.<br/>Crate trained: Yes. He was crated very long hours in his previous home. Overnight and up to 12 hours during the daytime. He will also use the crate as his safe place.<br/><br/>Good in the car: Yes but must be restrained<br/><br/>Bark when left alone: Not with reasonable time frames<br/>Destructive: He is always crated when they go out. He is not destructive when they are home.<br/><br/>Energy Level: Low to Medium Does not like the cold even with coats. He goes out and does business then right back in. Maybe 5 minutes in morning and perhaps 15 minutes in afternoon.<br/>Leash skills: He walks well on leash and does not show concern with people/dogs/vehicles. He greets other dogs appropriately on walks.<br/>Okay with physical handling/manipulations: Yes. Foster can pet him and brush him and can handle his feet and nails. Loves to sit on Fosters knee to watch TV.<br/>Known commands: sit, paw, stay, go inside, quiet, come, fetch. Owners attended obedience classes with him.<br/>Food on now: Zignature Limited Ingredient Kangaroo Formula kibble. 1/2 cup in the morning, 1/2 cup at noon, and 1/2 cup at 4pm. He gets Zignature treats, and salmon treats. At intake it was identified that he appeared to be doing some itching and his skin and coat were dry. At his Vet appointment it was thought Dorito may have some skin allergies and Foster was advised to keep him on the Kangaroo Kibble. As well as to add some Omega 3 liquid to his diet once a day. He eats his food very fast so he is eating out of a slow feeding dish.<br/><br/>Behavioural issues: He is described as intelligent, athletic, needy and liking to be near his people. He will hump when stressed or when over stimulated, but this will decrease when neutered, and when he is comfortable in the home, as this has been found with foster, he will respond to the off command.<br/>Medical issues: In his first home his owner stepped on his front right foot and he required surgery and 2 pins to fix the bone. He was about 1 year old when it happened. June 2025 he was boarded at a dog hotel and he got septic arthritis in his right front elbow. He was treated and recovered.<br/><br/>Dec 2025 he was identified as possible allergy and advised to keep on Zignature as well as given pills to help with scratching ( (Apoquel 5.4 mg) and Omega 3 liquid to help with coat, skin and joints (EICOSADERM). Owner identified that he does have trouble with stairs but Foster does not have stairs so can't confirm
