Each day he is gaining more confidence and comfort in his foster home and his personality is showing through. She will find a spot on the couch to relax quietly and even cuddle with you if you’re there, too. She likes looking out the front windows and watch quietly. She is a lovely balance between enthusiastic playing/going on walks and relaxing inside while Foster Mom and Dad do some chores.
He used to live outside with 12 other Labs, so he needed time and space to adjust to indoor living and trusting humans. In his foster home, Dewey has transformed into a fun-loving, people-loving pup. It has been a joy to watch him gain confidence and feel secure in his surroundings. Every day he makes great strides and feels more and more comfortable.
Dewey loves to play with all the dogs at his foster home, but really enjoys the younger, energetic foster siblings. They play chase, carry sticks together, roll around or play tug or war for hours— then come in for a nap. Dewey now snuggles on the couch with Foster Mom when she sits down to read or relax, and he asks for belly rubs, ear rubs and/or back scratches all the time! Dewey is still timid around men, but he is making great strides in approaching them. He relies on the resident dogs as his role models for just about everything by following their lead.
She is shy when you first meet her but warms up and loves to be petted. She will slide down and roll over to get her belly rubbed. She has a new foster dog sister that is high energy and they love to play, play, play! She has overcome most of the fear of her environment and happily trots around the house.
