Handsome Dave


Handsome Dave, originally uploaded by manymuddypaws.

Dave is almost ready for a home to call his own. Some important things to know about Dave:

He has learned lots in the short time I've had him and is pretty well adjusted to living as a house dog.

He is housetrained, crate trained, likes to go for walks, is great off leash, and loves other dogs. He does obsess about cats, and other small critters, but is learning what leave it means.

He loves to tug, and actually will pull with all his might now. It is very cute. He doesn't fetch quite yet- rather it is a game of chase the toy, and the beg Davie to bring it back to you. :)

He sleeps on a dog bed in the bedroom at night and doesn't make a peep. He is crated during the day is quiet (well, at least I assume so)

He has met lots of people, and been to lots of new places. He thinks all people have cookies and is actually rather rude about it which is awesome. He is interested in kids, but hasn't met any.

The home that would be most suited for Dave is one that has experience with dogs. He still has a long way to go, and lots to learn. He still gets a bit nervous if a meeting with people is forced on him, he doesn't trust strangers, and will need a quiet home. I think he'd make a good agility dog with some work- he is easily motivated, and is fast. He is a cautious dog though and likely will always be a litttle on the reserved side with people. I also reccomend he go to a home with another dog (or two. :) ) He really loves dogs, and would gain a lot of confidence having another dog around to rely on.

He is going to be neutered in the next week or so, and will officially be looking for a new home after that. If you know someone who might be interested please pass on his info.

As always I am pretty select in where my rescues go- so be prepared for some questions!
