My foster dad chose my name after the character from How To Train Your Dragon because I am intelligent, resilient, and have a big heart! The staff at the clinic voted to keep it, so that's how I got my name. <br/><br/>I love playing outside with my foster siblings, so much that my foster parents have a really hard time getting me to go inside. They have been trying really hard to teach me, but they haven't given me a good reason why being inside is better than being outside. When I am outside, I love searching for the crawdads that come to the backyard sometimes, finding sticks to chew on, and sometimes I love to sit at the fence and stare at the people walking by or saying hi to the neighbors. Most of the time, I sun bathe, listen to the birds, and lay on my back and watch the planes fly over me. When I am inside, I love playing with my toys or wrestling with my foster sister Blue. Most of the time, I nap on the couch with her. She's my best friend! <br/><br/>My foster parents take me to lots of places. I got to walk through downtown and watch the marathon runners. I was scared at first, but was reassured I was okay, so I laid down and watched the runners running right next to me. We then went to the park, and so many people wanted to meet me, but all I wanted to do was play with the kids running. My foster mom told me I had to learn how to play with dogs first and one day with kids. (I was a little rough with my foster siblings when I first met them, but a lot better now.) Since the marathon my foster parents have taken me to Starbucks (they LOVE coffee, and I love watching people), Penny's Beer Garden, and to many parks. I have gotten better about meeting people, but still hesitant with some men. I always bark at them, but it's mostly because I am scared once they give me time or my foster parents say it's okay then I am okay with them. I am lucky I get to go to many places because I have a lot of energy! I mostly love being in the car during the day I love to see everything, and at night I sleep or lay on my back and look at the stars through the moon-roof. <br/><br/>If my foster parents had to describe my personality, they would use one word...RIDICULOUS. (They say it alot...) I would say I am a combination of "independent" and "happy dog". I can think for myself, and have figured out many things on my own. I know I am not easily motivated because my foster parents can't even figure out how to get me inside. I am also a happy dog because even though I am cautious with people I am always happy to meet them. I try to act tough, but I am a goofball. I think the staff at the clinic would agree! My foster mom takes me to work, so I get to say hi to everyone, but she says she does it so I can learn to be in a kennel. Kennel training has been going okay, I no longer cry about being in there and will occasionally take a nap, and I am not longer destroying stuff in there, but do occasionally chew on stuff (a toy in my kennel is a must). <br/><br/>I am easygoing, but I do talk a lot. Foster mom says I may have some husky in me, occasionally my foster sister Lila and brother Angel join in with me. Apparently, they didn't know they could! I talk a lot to them, and my foster parents because it's the only way I can tell them what I need. I am hyper-vigilant of my environment, and always want to announce what I hear. Most of the time I hear my foster sister Shadow (a cat). She liked me at first, but I thought she was a chew toy...Now we are friends. I want to chase her though, and sometimes she doesn't like it. Her friends who visit her outside don't like it at all, so I watch them from the window. <br/><br/>When my foster parents are at home and not working, I love cuddling with them on the couch or bed and watching tv with them (the best shows are the ones with animals). I am curious about everything, love life, and appreciate everything I have and experience. I hope to find my forever family soon.
