We think he may fill out a little bit more, but has not been gaining as much weight in the last couple of months. He is in a foster home in Houston, Texas. <br/><br/>This little family was rescued from the woods in a rural, well-known dumping area outside of Houston. Wanda gave birth to her litter during a Texas freeze, and a kind networker discovered her with her 2-day-old puppies. We were able to bring Mom and all six puppies to the safety of a foster home, where they've had the chance to grow up loved and cared for.<br/><br/>Sentry wakes up every day happy. Happy to crawl into your lap for cuddles. Happy to wrestle and play with his siblings. Happy to go for walks, chase the water hose, and make every ordinary moment feel fun. He loves people. He loves other dogs. He loves life.<br/><br/>He's the kind of dog who brings joy wherever he goes. Goofy, affectionate, playful, and endlessly loving. The kind of companion who will greet you like you're the best part of his day, every single day.<br/><br/>Now an older puppy, Sentry has the best of both worlds. He still has plenty of playful energy but is beginning to settle into a wonderful companion. He is potty trained and continues to grow into a confident, affectionate, and well-rounded dog.<br/><br/>He is housebroken and crate trained. He rides well in the car and he does fantastic walking on leash! <br/><br/>Sentry is one of the most confident males in the litter, right alongside his sister, Dagger. He's outgoing, friendly, and always ready to make a new friend. Whether it's meeting new people, playing with other dogs, or soaking up attention, Sentry is usually first in line for pets and happy to be included in whatever you're doing.<br/><br/>He has been raised alongside his littermates and his mom and loves playing with other dogs. He has not been tested with cats but has been around children and has done well. He recently attended a community event where he happily soaked up attention from adults and kids alike. He's continuing to practice his leash skills and basic obedience and is eager to learn.<br/><br/>Although Sentry is past the tiny-puppy stage, he is still very much an adolescent and is continuing to learn about the world around him. He's looking for a family committed to reinforcing good manners, building his confidence, and helping him continue to mature into an exceptional adult dog. Ongoing positive reinforcement, consistency, and continued leash practice will help him thrive.<br/><br/>One of the most important things for a dog this age is continued socialization. Safe, positive experiences with new people, places, sounds, and friendly dogs help build lifelong confidence. We love seeing our young dogs grow up with a well-adjusted canine role model in the home. A resident dog can help teach appropriate play, communication, and boundaries in ways humans simply can't replicate, so we prefer homes that already have another friendly, well-mannered dog to help mentor and guide Sentry.<br/><br/>That said, we understand that not every home has another dog. If you don't currently have a dog, we'd love to hear your plan for continued socialization. This might include structured training classes, regular playdates with trusted dogs, supervised daycare, or other safe opportunities for positive canine interaction. A proactive approach is essential.<br/><br/>Because Sentry is still a young dog, we also prefer homes where someone isn't routinely away for more than four to six hours at a time. He'll continue to benefit from regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, training, and human interaction as he grows into adulthood.<br/><br/>Raising a young dog takes time, flexibility, and dedication, but the reward is an incredible lifelong companion who trusts you, looks to you for guidance, and grows into a confident, well-balanced dog. If you're ready for the work, the payoff is immeasurable.<br/>___<br/><br/>***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.
