Name: Caleb
From the Foster: Hi, I'm Caleb! I had some stomach issues when I got here, and with the help of my foster mom and the vet, we have those under control now. I eat Purina EN Gastro food to help with my stomach, and may need to be on that long term. I am also taking some Benadryl every day to help with possible allergies and itching. I still have the occasional itch, but it is much better! I love everyone that I meet. I am good with dogs of all sizes, and good with the few cats that I have met so far. Even though I love everyone, I am a little rough, so I need to be watched around small children. I would never hurt them intentionally, but I like to jump, so may knock them down. I am working really hard on my manners and learning boundaries.
For my furever family, I would love a family with another dog to learn from, and play with. I love to sniff and be outside, so I would love if you had a big fenced in yard for me to spend some time in. I really enjoy getting out for walks and hunting for rabbits as well. My foster mom has me in a harness because if I see a rabbit, I pull, so she says it is safer for me to wear one.
I am doing really well with potty training. I go to the door, but sometimes it's just to trick my foster family into taking me for another walk. With the exception of arrival when I wasn't feeling well, I have only had one accident in the house!
I don't have to spend a lot of time in the kennel at my foster's house, but I am ok with being in there...even though I may whine a little at first. Right now I eat in my kennel, and spend about 2-3 hours in there when the humans are gone.
I love to ride in the car with my head out the window. My foster mom has a seat belt for me, because I will jump out if given the chance. If I am not belted into the back seat, I also think I should ride on the drivers lap, and my foster mom tells me that's not safe. I mean, I get it, but aren't 33 lb dogs supposed to be lap dogs?
I am looking forward to meeting my furever family! Please reach out if you want to learn more about me!
