My husband and I went up to Effort PA to pick up our first foster, Sammy, last Wednesday. This is one of the sweetest little gentlemen that I have ever met. He did display a little fear aggression when we picked him up, but we sat with the owner until she relaxed, then he did, and the next morning, he was a new man. He is incredibly eager to please, and just wants to be in our laps whenever possible. He is walking well on the leash and only a few minor potty accidents so far that were more about marking than needing to go.
After the first few nights I decided to give him a break from crating and that seems to have him eating well again, but I will work on reintroducing the crate as a positive experience. We will watch and see how he is when new introductions are made (we have a senior Boston girl and cats) but so far, he is just a great and wonderful little dog and has shown only friendly curiosity towards the other side of the door.
Thanks for taking in the gorgeous boy!! I am sure with all the love he will get from your family, he will slowly start to come out of his shell. so excited to hear about his progress!!
