More about Dewey

Location: Albany, NY   Meet Dewey — the 9 month old adventure pup! Hi! I’m Dewey — about 48 pounds of pure puppy charm and curiosity. I’m still figuring out this big, exciting world, so sometimes I bark at new things . The hair dryer could damage  mom’s hair after all. And the printer is a waste of paper and ink.  Someone has to  alert  mom  to these things . W ith training, I’m getting braver every day. I even visit Home Depot and Tractor Supply like a total pro now, and I do great meeting new people — even the tiny humans.   I’ll be honest: I  do  pull on leash. I’m working on it. I’ve also met goats, horses, and had a couple of dog meet and greets, so I’m getting pretty worldly for a youngster. I’m crate trained, potty trained, and I sleep through the night like a champ. I know sit, down, wait, and touch. And guess what? I’m learning scent work — and apparently my nose is kind of amazing. My foster mom made this video about me . https://youtube.com/shorts/hgGLqbFRFqk About Dewey   Potty trained , with zoomies + gentle hand mouthing as his “I gotta go!” signal • Smart, eager to learn, and very treat motivated   Scent trained  — loves search games indoors and outside • Quiet boy  unless someone is at the door or on the property •  Snow lover  who tunnels through it like a goofy little otter •  Needs slow dog introductions ; could live with a calm dog or thrive as an only pet •  Needs a medium fenced yard , ideally in a quieter, rural setting •  Leash Reactive at the vet  around other dogs, but great with staff •    Best with an owner committed to continued training •    Good with kids , but will absolutely eat their toys •    Must be crated when unattended ; needs a durable bed (K9 Ballistics style) •  Managed introductions required  — not a fan of lots of in and out visitors •  Once he settles, he’ll be your absolute BEST friend Dewey is up to date on vaccinations and is neutered.
