For sure, this little guy is ALL puppy! Puppies are tons of fun but do require ALOT of work and training on your family's part to be the best pup he can be! He needs love, attention and lots of consistency especially for housebreaking! His little bladder can't hold it all day so please make sure you can commit to the puppy not being left alone for long periods of time. If that's not possible, please consider one of our adult dogs which might be better suited for your lifestyle! He loves leash walks, but is nervous with getting his harness on, he does get a little protective at first if we see other pups on the walk. He would love to have a human or 2 for his new family, we feel he would do best as a one and only... as long as his human can play, play, play! MUST be very active as he is quite the energizer bunny when it comes to attention and playtime! If you have kids they should be at least 12+, we think that would be ok. He loves to play ball, and would all day if you have the energy and patience. He does play with fluffy, stuffy toys on his own. He loves to snuggle after playing, and his favorite place is on top of his human, maybe a lap or your legs. As long as part of him is touching his human. If you have an established pup, it would need to be similar size and not very vocal. (Meet and greet would be required with pup) He would need a single family home preferably with a secure fenced in yard so he can have a place to run and burn some of his puppy energy off. An active family that would take him places would be great also. He is mostly house trained, but still being a puppy, he needs to get out often and of course he is going to need to get into a routine in his new home, but he is getting there! He is in a foster home with other pups and is learning quickly how to be a “good boy”. Scout was surrendered as he was not in a safe environment. He was in a home that had too much energy and was very vocal. Yep that can happen sometimes. There were younger, active, vocal kids along with larger, active vocal dog. And active vocal adults.. This caused Scout some confusion. Several months ago he started, as his communications To become growly/and growling at the active, vocal energy around him.. He also developed some resource guarding. There was some training to try to correct this. His foster mom is continuing his training.. He’s a work in progress. He is also FEARFUL of men. He takes a little bit to trust. His new home will need to have a confident Alfa human to teach him and guide him on all things trusting and how to be the BESTEST boy. And to build his confidence. Prefer a home without men. Don’t let all the cuteness fool you.? He’s a puppy. He’s a work in progress if you have the patience to work with him. He’s learning to be the bestest boy and who can resist that great smile, and those ears. Scout has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and is on heartworm and flea prevention.
