A volunteer writes:   Majestic and handsome are the two words I would use to describe Puppy.  His golden coat is lush, his markings stunning, and his bright amber eyes are alert and curious. Surrendered with his housemate Mama (A1069286), we’re told that he’s been around young children but can get very excited and may be best with teens and up.  He’s friendly to strangers, he and Mama played and napped together, likes being brushed, is housetrained, listens to commands, ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’ and ‘go’, enjoys toys, is well behaved when left home alone and can  be protective of his owner when walked on leash.  Puppy showed off his housetraining skills as soon as we were out the door, walked nicely on leash, and although a bit stressed when we first met as he had just joined us was friendly with a softly wagging tail  jumping up on the bench to sit beside me.  He sits to be leashed (how impressive is that?!), and makes soft eye contact as I take some pictures.   Puppy lived with his family since birth so has a lot to get used to.   I found him calm and sweet, figuring out his place in this new world.  Puppy is at that perfect age, over the puppy stuff, old enough to be calm, and young enough to have many years of a great life.   We’d like for him to figure out his place with his new person or family, and Puppy would like nothing better.  Ask to meet him today.

Behavior :

Puppy came into our center along with another similarly sized dog, presumably his mother. It is reported Puppy has been around children of various ages, from 1 to teenagers, allows petting/playful and excitable. Behavior around cats is unknown. Owner reports on leash Puppy may become protective, lunging and trying to nip, but has never bitten anyone. He is reportedly not bothered if anyone touches his Food, Toys, Treats. It is reported Puppy is housetrained and well behaved when left alone in the home. He is described as playful, affectionate & friendly. During intake, Puppy became tense when approached and attempted to nip admissions counselor, jumping up-owner had to assist with collaring and handling. Puppy whined consistently in the SAFER assessment room. He allowed his head to be cupped in assessor’s hands, eyes averted. Puppy stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, open mouth pant. He was distracted during Tag game, appeared anxious. Puppy did not pull his paw back on both Squeeze attempts, leaning into assessor, whining. He showed minimal interest in Toy, though this may be due to environment as owner reports Puppy enjoys playing with toys such as kongs and balls. When off leash with other dogs,  Puppy keeps to himself in the pen, giving a low growl when approached. Due to his tendency to attempt to nip, the Behavior feels Puppy would do best with an Experienced adopter that does not have very young children. He may benefit initially from a calm, quiet, structured environment so he can relax and know what to expect in his new home.
