Animal Information: Pluto is a 38lb, 6-month-old male lab mix (mama was a lab mix, but we don't know where his stumpy legs came from!). Until recently, he and his littermates lived in an outdoor pen with out adequate access to shelter or water. Luckily they were picked up by our rescue partners, and Pluto has been loving indoor dog life. He will need to work on his leash manners, but this happy go lucky guy is made of best friend material. We can't wait to meet him!
Foster Profile:
Pluto is a silly young pup with a beautifully brindled coat that somehow stops in the middle of his forehead, hilariously looking like the printer just ran out of ink. His ideal family will have a friendly dog to help him build his confidence, though he would also be fine as a solo dog. They will need to be patient as he's still going through his puppy phase (chewing on things, jumping on people), but this waggly little bundle of joy is social and eager to please, with a great off-switch. An active family would be ideal to help keep him from any mischief—two walks a day seem sufficient to tire him out. He can be a little pushy at times, so he will need strong leadership to teach him boundaries as he grows older.
Pluto is learning to live life in a big city—joggers and cars used to make him nervous but he now walks past construction sites without batting an eye. He is tentative when meeting people, though he warms up quickly. He's very food-motivated and loves to self-entertain with toys. He's crate-trained and walks well on a leash, though he may be tempted to chase critters we come across! He happily puts himself in his crate when he's tired, though he does also love his couch time. He's never had an accident in his crate and easily sleeps through the night. He's got head tilts down to an art, and will be sure to bring his future family lots of laughter, joy, and snuggles!
