Vader is a 3 month old PBGV who is a bit submissive, but is good at initiating play. He loves the squeaky toys, and can be vocal when he is playing and having the zoomies.
He is very smart, has figured out the ramp to the yard by the second day, and going out to the potty within days.
Vader plays very well with the foster’s 5 year old basset, Winston, but does get nervous when Winston gets a little into the playing. He will hide under the table or a corner to get away, but then joins right back in. He is great with the resident cats too.
He is working on commands “off”, “leave it”, “sit” and “potty” as well as leash walks and coming in/out of the house with minimal help from foster mom and dad.
Crate training is coming along really well with no accidents for the past 3 nights! He is crated when left alone and at night.
He is good at putting himself down for a nap when tired and sleeping through noises in the house. VERY good with children!
The veterinarian check will include verifying the applicant’s past/present dog(s) is/are altered (spayed/neutered), current on vaccines (not just Rabies), tested negative for Heartworm & on monthly preventatives.
