What my friends at Oregon Humane say about me:

• Playing really helps me come out my shell and it's a great way for us to bond.
• I love to be the center of attention. All eyes and pets on me, please!
• To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.
• I sometimes think humans are toys - chasing, pouncing, and grabbing onto arms and legs. I'll need help with re-directing my energy onto appropriate toys as well as being rewarded when I'm in a calm and relaxed state.
• High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my physical and mental exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.
• Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.
• I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
• Escape Artist: I have a history of escaping doors or fences. I will need supervision when outdoors or we can go on adventures together - on leash of course!
• To prepare for your meet and greet, please take a moment to learn more about puppy ownership here !

The type of home I'm looking for:

• I need to go to an adult only home.
• I am not for the first time dog owner. Someone very familiar with canine body language is a must for me.
• It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process.
