He certainly thinks he's the only dog in the world and expects to be treated as such. If you like to be greeted at the door with 4 foot leaps of excitement, this is your guy! Niven is SO sweet and loves his humans so hard, and the spot he most wants to be is curled up on your lap with blankets. He is also one of the funniest dogs you'll ever met. He loves hiding places and is a blanket extraordinaire who will also curl up in laundry baskets. He thrives with structure and a routine, and will do best with someone who can provide him with a calm, and consistent environment. Niven is very sensitive to outside noises (i.e. doors slamming, loud voices in hallways, etc.) and will need to live in a single family home in a quiet neighborhood.<br/><br/>Niven has been taking behavior support medication to aid in his training goals.<br/><br/>Niven's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous supporter, and he is ready to love on his forever person!<br/><br/>Next steps: Email adopt@onetail.org with questions, or submit an application online and we'll be in touch to schedule a meeting: https://www.onetail.org/apply-to-adopt/<br/><br/>*** Our adoption application stays on file for one year and can apply to any dog in our program. Once the app is submitted you will receive an email within 48-72 hours. For additional questions, email adopt@onetail.org ***
