- A great mix of athletic and snuggly; has energetic moments, but also loves to curl up in bed or on a cozy chair and chill

- Likes to be in your lap and may nose his way under your arm for extra cuddles

- Named after the dog from "Up," and has that same lovable-distractible-goober vibe

- Loves walks and will do a little dance as you're getting ready; does best with a harness since everything outside is very exciting!

- Can be uncertain around new people, and prefers to make friends at his own pace

- Fully housetrained in his foster home; just remember that any dog may need time to adjust to a new routine

- Has been around many visiting dogs in his foster home and has done well after a slow introduction; can be a little awkward at first, but after he adjusts, he's ready to be friends (dog intro recommended)
