Gretzky's Story

Ello again...<br/><br/>In case you forgot, I'm Gretzky. I've been in foster care for a long time now and I've really got a good schedule down. I'll tell you about it if you want....<br/><br/>First I wake up and am excited to go potty outside. It's one of my favorite times and I may bark or nip your butt with excitement. Don't worry, I'm not /that/ excited. I just really have to pee.<br/><br/>Then I come inside and lay on my beddy. It's my favorite spot. Unfortunately, I'm what my foster calls 'a babe magnet.' This means my canine and feline roommates will come to snuggle in my beddy with me, even in very warm temperatures. I don't understand it either. So we spend the next several hours rotating beddies until lunch, when we go back outside.<br/><br/>Much sleeping is had. And snacks.<br/><br/>Then the garage door opens and my room mates and I loose our collective minds because foster M'mam is home! I love her.<br/><br/>And it means we get to do the best thing ever: walkies. I love pooping when I'm on a leash. I love walking. I don't need to smell anything, I don't care. I just like to walk. Especially in the woods!<br/><br/>Sometimes we will see people on our walk. It makes me very nervous. Sometimes they will ask to pet me. I tell them 'No Thank You' by desperately trying to get away from them. Then I am edgy the rest of the walk. What if they secretly pop out of a bush to pet me?? Sometimes my foster M'mam will lock me in the bathroom and pet me. I've gotten used to this strange habit, but I don't really like it.<br/><br/>Then, after food smells (sometimes I get veggie scraps to chew on) and screen time, I get my pill treat and it's time for bed.<br/><br/>I bet you thought I forgot snack and drinking breaks.<br/><br/>I didn't.<br/><br/>After the lights go off, I remember I need water to survive and chug all the water. Then I vomit out the extra. Then, I will often drink the extra off the floor. I don't want to make a mess. This is probably why I'm so eager to pee in the morning.<br/><br/>So that is my life. It's way better than it was. My foster keeps trying to push me to do bigger and better things. But it's hard! I need someone with patience and who won't expect too much from me...<br/><br/>I won't expect much from you either! I just want walks and to feel safe and protected.<br/><br/>Apply here: https://www.fetchfosterandrescue.com/adopt<br/><br/>Name: Gretzky<br/><br/>D.O.B: 11/29/17<br/><br/>Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Shepard mix<br/><br/>Sex: Male<br/><br/>Weight: 40 lbs<br/><br/>Altered: yes<br/><br/>Adoption: 300<br/><br/>Good with Cats: Yes, they are fine.<br/><br/>Good with Dogs: Yes, I like them.<br/><br/>Good with Kids: If they pretend I don't exist, they are fine.<br/><br/>Special Requirements: A fenced in yard, another dog in the home<br/><br/>*Positive reinforcement obedience training is a great way to bond with your new family member.
