Rookie is available for adoption. He is 5 years old and weighs 5 lbs. His adoption fee is $350.00. Rookie is an intelligent boy who gets along just fine with his foster sibling dogs. In fact, it would be nice for him to go to a home with another easy going dog to show him the ropes in his new home. Gardening is one of his favorite hobbies. Really! His family has been doing a lot of yard work and he enjoys going out and checking around the garden for any monsters that may be lurking there. He is slowly being exposed to more social areas to help him with his timidity and fear of strangers. Rookie has decide that his foster mom is his soul mate and has attached himself to her, following her everywhere, including hopping into the shower with her! Rookie sleeps through the night next to her on her bed. He would be happy to transfer this trust to his new forever mom. His housetraining is coming along well; he is doing most of his potty outdoors. Rookie occasionally uses the pee pad in the house - he tries to be a good boy. Rookie is still very timid so he will need a quiet, experienced home - perhaps one lady or a retired couple. Rookie is still wary of strangers and will show clearly that he is not comfortable with strangers. But give him time, patience and firm direction so that he knows he does not have to go it alone. What he doesn't need is sympathy and comforting rewards when showing fear. This only tells him that he is right in his fear. Overcoming it with constant encouragement and firmness will allow him to blossom into a more confident little boy. Does that describe you? We are waiting on your application for one small boy who needs your special skills and patience.
