He has been very gentle with children (ages 2 &3) and seems to understand not to jump on them. However, when he gets excited about a walk, he will try to jump on you, but is quickly learning, “Off.”<br/><br/>Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?<br/><br/>Liberty spent the first four months of his life in a shelter with no outside kennel time. He had to learn all the normal dog behaviors – scent-sniffing, playing, doing his business outside, and trusting he wasn't going to go hungry. He is now a well-adjusted, fun dog. He enjoys playing with squeaky toys, chasing and playing with dog pals, and playing fetch or tug-of-war with his foster family. Liberty does love to eat, so to prevent him eating the other dog's food, I feed him in his crate and leave him there until all his pals are finished. Treats should be handed to each dog individually, or he'll try to get more than his fair share. He is relatively new to living in a family home, so he will need consistent training to be a well-behaved dog. He is a loving, sweet dog who is ready to give you all the love and happy tail wags for giving him a forever home.<br/><br/>Fosters Location: Harrington, DE<br/><br/>Application can be found here: https://www.grrde.org/adoption-application (if you already have an approved application on file email GrassRootsDE@gmail.com and ask the app team to pull your app
