PLEASE READ ALL NOTES BELOW THE ANIMAL PROFILE! NOTES FROM FOSTER MOM: PLEASE READ ALL! so im not sure about his life before MFP and i definitely havent found all of his triggers but from my time with him ive noticed that most of the time his main trigger is when people he doesnt know gets in his space. if a stranger slowly approaches & lets him sniff their hand before petting him only on his head, hes fine but then thats as far as they should go. for anyone interested in adopting him he needs time to trust & adjust to his new family & home. he wasnt my best friend right away, but with me being patient & respectful he came around and his eventual forever family with time will come to see that he can be someones best friend. when he first came to my house he wanted me to be near him, but not in his bubble, at all times, & i did not overstep until i knew he could trust me & i could get closer to him. if this stresses you out thinking he may be too mean for you, just know that now that he trusts me i can roughhouse play with him & he loves it because him & i have built that trust, & i have no experience with dogs so if i could do that than anyone could. also on the brighter side! fito has a lot of really good personality traits! he loves dressing up, he has two sweaters & when i pick one up & show him, he comes running to put it on. he turns into a little tornado when he sees his food bowl getting filled & does a little dance before getting a treat. hes getting better & understanding sit, lay down, and turn around, but not perfect yet. i work & have school so im not home often & when i get home after a long day and sit on the couch he jumps on my lap & gives me kisses all over my face. he likes to pose for the camera which is so cute but sometimes hell be doing something silly and ill try to record him and he stops what hes doing to pose so i never catch his funnier moments. i havent found a toy that he absolutely loves but he has a pacifier shaped kong that i fill with dog safe peanut butter which he really likes and although he does love toys he still likes to bring them to people as gifts when i have visitors in the house. he completely tears up stuffed toys so plastic toys are more his speed, preferably the ones that help with teeth & gum cleaning. he loves dog parks & if i grab my car keys he just assumes its time to go play. ive tested him off leash around my neighborhood & hes pretty good at staying next to me on walks without his leash, but if he gets spooked he might run, though he knows which apartment is mine so he just runs back to the door because we havent gone too far from home off leash. History: He was an owner surrender due to his owners not having the time for him anymore due to work. Adoption fee: $150 which includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccines.
