Medical Conditions: None Known Diet: Ask foster Freeway was found, as you can guess, on the freeway in Grapevine a few days before Thanksgiving dodging traffic. He was so scared and skinny and covered in fleas. He smell terrible. After about 20 minutes of blocking traffic and crawling under a car, our medical director was able to get him out from under the car where he sought safety. Thank goodness the driver of said car stopped to help. Freeway never ran away or tried to bite. He was thankful to be saved. Where he was rescued it would have been impossible for him to get to on his own. He must have jumped out of another vehicle or was dumped, so sad. He is a serious work in progress. He has never had any proper training and is just starved for attention. He was also literally starving. So, he is very food motivated and has anxiety when left alone. He LOVES food is an understatement. He is learning his manners. He has learned not to take food off peoples plates but it is VERY difficult for him. He eats all food! Drinks all the drinks! He is a good eater in the am and pm. He learned quickly not to try and eat the other dogs food in his foster home. With a little patience he gets to lick the crumbs from their bowls once they are finished. Freeway stays in his crate over night and when his foster mom is not home. He hates it but he has gotten used to the routine. When he is first let out of the crate he is extremely vocal with excitement. His foster mom thinks he is part Schnauzer! He doesn't have accidents overnight but goes straight outside first thing in the am! This is a success. He had to learn to potty outside. It took him 3 days to just go outside into the backyard at his foster home, poor guy. No telling what he has been through. He now goes in and out on his own without any fear but still has the occasional peepee accident. He is struggling with letting his foster know when he needs to go out. He prefers to be inside with his person at all times. Right now that person is our medical director that saved him from that scary freeway and mean cars. The first week or so he showed some aggression toward his foster mom's other dogs when they tried to get attention and he was in her lap. They have worked hard on this but since it is a potential problem we recommend he be the only dog. He wants all the attention and even though he likes other dogs and enjoys playing with them he really doesn't want to share his people. He needs someone home with him all the time to help him continue his training and develop the self esteem to be the best dog he can be. He would not be good for small children or a first time pet. He needs a very experienced owner with the patience and time to work with him. He is very sweet and just wants the chance!
