Fletcher's Story
Meet Fletcher! He is a happy, sweet, well-rounded fella. One of those rare dogs that truly is the whole package and would fit nicely into a wide array of families.<br/><br/>Temperament - Sweetheart alert! This guy is a lover through and through. He's submissive, but his confidence has grown over the last year, and he's really enjoying life. There are a few scenarios that bring out his shy side, but really he's just a ray of sunshine!<br/><br/>People - Fletcher is a people pleaser. Good with adults, kids, men, women, and strangers. Does great in public. He can get overwhelmed if it's incredibly crowded/noisy, but recovers quickly with encouragement and quiet breaks.<br/><br/>Dogs - Submissive, respectful, and good-natured. He gets along with everyone he meets and particularly loves females. He has met dogs as tiny as a Yorkie and as big as a German Shepherd. Of course, as with any new dog introduction - always go slow for the best outcomes for everyone.<br/><br/>Cats - Green light! Fletch does not interfere, harass, or chase kitties. He even cuddles with one of his current housemates.<br/><br/>Energy level - Moderate perfection. He's over his terrible teens and settled into the best age! Enjoys engaging in family activities (playing, adventures, walks, etc), but also settles easily. He is a HUGE cuddle bug!<br/><br/>Training - Eager to please & very praise oriented. Crate trained. Has been taught not to jump. Doesn't bark much and quiets if given command. Knows basic obedience plus additional.<br/><br/>Loves - Car rides, adventures, playing with people and dogs, cuddling, peanut butter, and toys (tug ropes, chews, stuffies - everything is fair game!). We think he would make a phenomenal family dog, adventure pal, or bestie for a moderate energy household.<br/><br/>Fears - Isn't the biggest fan of having his nails trimmed, but the groomer is able to fully service back paws and clip front (but not yet graduated to filing the front). He's also a little scared of thunder and will shake and want to be near his humans. It's not an intense anxiety, but the poor baby needs a hug.<br/><br/>You may ask, "Gosh, why is this great guy being rehomed?!". Unfortunately, his current home is too overwhelming for his best mental health. With 2 teen dogs (one being rather dominant and VERY barky), a high energy teen cat wreaking havoc with the others, and an owner experiencing new medical needs - he is hiding under the bed and showing signs of unhappiness and discomfort daily. The environment is not one where he can fully relax, enjoy himself, and live his best life. So we're reaching out to other dog lovers in hopes that one of their homes will be!
