History: Alistair is a super handsome boy who was recently welcomed to rescue and will warm your heart with his smile and happy personality. He has his paws crossed to find his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: This little "Buddy", as I call him, is such a delight! I've only had him a week and you'd never guess he had a rough start to life.
His fun personality makes him hard to resist. That said, he's not a snuggler but lets you know when he'd like some attention. He seems to love everyone, men, women, kids, other dogs, etc. He's still got a lot of puppy qualities as you can see by the video below. He LOVES his toys and plays until he literally passes out asleep on them.
He sleeps all night in his crate and goes in for naps during the day if I have to leave. Potty training is going well. He definitely lets you know when he needs to go by circling smaller and smaller loops. His only vice is marking - which will likely improve once he has his neuter. Until then, he wears belly bands in the house. Don't pass him by because of that. He's smart as a whip and is a total sweetheart!
Adoption Fee: $750 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
