What kind of home would be best for me? Stetson is a young adult dog who can fit into so many different homes. Our first priority is a home with another young, playful dog. Stetson is happiest with a canine companion. If you don't have another dog, there needs to be a plan for regular play dates - a minimum of 4 times per week for at least 1 hour each time. We do not know if Stetson has ever lived with children. We do know that he's still figuring out what being a pet is all about so needs patience and experienced hands. Stetson is active. He needs a home committed to lots of physical and mental exercise daily. What is my personality like? Stetson is a truly wonderful, sweet-natured boy with a loving heart and a playful spirit. He enjoys attention from both people and other dogs and is happiest when he’s part of the action, especially if it involves running around outside and enjoying some fresh air. Playtime is one of his favorite things, and he brings a joyful energy wherever he goes. Stetson is a very smart dog, eager to learn and connect, but he can be a bit timid when first meeting new people or entering new environments. Stetson just needs a little time to feel safe. Once he does, his affectionate and fun personality really shines. He warms up much more quickly when another dog is around, and we truly believe he would do best in a home with a canine companion. He thrives in the presence of other dogs and absolutely LOVES to play with them. Stetson will benefit from continued work on basic house manners and leash training as he settles into his new home. With consistency and positive guidance, he has all the tools to succeed. He is crate trained and keeps his crate clean most of the time, showing that he understands structure and routine. How do I act when I first meet new people? Stetson can be a bit timid when meeting new people or entering new environments. Once he is comfortable, his playful personality shines. Other tips and tidbits: We have no history on Stetson pre-rescue. Based on his overall health and condition he is estimated at 18 months old. We celebrate his birthday 07/30/2024 House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
