How did I get to Pet Haven: I was adopted in 2006 when I was a new puppy. Early this year my owners returned me to Pet Haven. They said I didn’t fit into their lifestyle anymore.

Hobbies: Fly fishing, chewing on stuffed toys and I am taking a night class in conversational French in case I meet a cute poodle someday. I like to run around with my sister dog who lived in this new foster home first. She is the boss (so she says).

Commands/Tricks: I sit tall (as I can get) for ANY kind of treat. I come whenever I’m called (my sister dog never comes when called, see how good I am?). I go into my crate whenever I am told even when I know my mom is leaving me for a while.

Crate/Potty Trained: I love my crate and sleep in it at night and during the day when my mom is gone. If I could sleep with my foster mom, I know I would be very quiet (she snores). I know exactly where to go potty and it is NOT in the house. I don’t waste time outside dillydallying around (like some other sister dog I know) and I take care of business right away.

Activity Level: I’m what they call “moderate” in the rescue business. I don’t need a lot of activity but I will go on a walk whenever you want. I will lie quietly in my bed in the living room but love to get on a lap if someone says its ok. Alright, so sometimes I don’t ask.

Fun things I do: I love to be where you are. I love to tear into stuffed toys but get bored with them after awhile. My best thing is getting pets and hugs cuz I am one cute little guy! I don’t mind riding in the car or getting my nails clipped.

Socialization/who I currently live with: When I first met my sister dog, I got pushed around a bit. (She can be very bossy). I can stand my ground though cuz I’m a guy. But now we are best friends. I am not a picky eater and will eat whatever is put in my bowl. I am somewhat afraid of really big dogs. My only less than stellar behavior is that I like to bark. If my sister dog barks, so will I. If we see someone/dog walk by then we will bark at them. I am working on this to be a quieter guy.

My Ideal Family: I just want someone to love me forever and let me tell you, I am one easy guy to love. You will get unconditional love from me for the rest of my life and I’ll put that in writing. I would be best in a house instead of an apartment/condo with shared walls because of my desire to bark. Everyone who meets me says I am a very sweet little guy (I’m blushing now). I’m waiting for just the right family to love me forever. Come out to Petco and see me sometime and we can do treats (I’m buying).
