Rush has been with us for over a month now, and he has really settled in nicely. He gets along with all of the dogs he has met, but sometimes he needs reminding to leave our old cranky dog alone since he always wants to play. Rush is improving walking on a leash as well as his manners in the home. He is practically a Houdini when it comes to counter-surfing, so that is something we watch closely and are working with him on.
Rush is incredibly smart, and he is responding well to training. He is a dog that really benefits from training and mental stimulation during these cold months! We can only guess that Rush would love to go on jogs with people, but his foster parents are not into running. Now that Rush has really settled down and has become less fearful in the home, we have found out that he LOVES to snuggle and cuddle!! He will come and sit on your lap on the couch or curl up next to you (or on top of you if you let him!) if you are laying in bed.
Rush has figured out how to use the cozy cave dog bed and likes to go in there to hang out. Rush still acts a little puppy-ish, so small children are probably not the best match for him. He has met older, considerate children and done very well with them. Please consider adding this sweet and energetic boy to your family!
