He’s so chill once he settles in, which doesn’t take him very long to do. When he goes into the crate, he has zero issues. IF he barks (going into the crate or if his chosen person leaves), it’s only for a few minutes. Roy doesn’t meet anyone who doesn’t tell him how perfect he is. He likes beers on the patio, car rides, chicken nuggets and takes them gently from your hand. He also waits patiently for them and listens fairly well. He just doesn’t want to remove himself from the comfy bed his foster folks let him share from time to time. He lays in the dog bed and sleeps uninterrupted all night long. He still needs to learn to play with other dogs without mounting them but he likes toys and fetch. He really will make a wonderful companion for anyone who will love him."<br/><br/>Apply to adopt: <br/>https://rubiesandrogues.com/pages/placement-application <br/><br/>Adoption fee $300 (includes vetting through our program) see here for specifics: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16xaqyrjYF/<br/><br/>Follow along on socials: <br/>https://linktr.ee/rubiesandrogues

Roy knows how to sit and takes treats gently
Roy walks on a leash (he pulls a bit with excitement, but he’s manageable)
Roy does wonderfully in a fenced yard and prefers to stay within sight of his people

Roy would do best in a house rather than an apartment, mostly because he does like to voice his opinion when crated and would be happiest with space to stretch his legs and lounge nearby while his people go about their

Now, in the interest of transparency (and because honesty builds strong relationships), Roy does have one very specific hobby:
Roy has an affinity for throw pillows. He gives a little hip action.

Once he has thoroughly established his… authority 🫣… over the throw pillows, he returns immediately to his regularly scheduled programming as a calm, affectionate couch compan
