Tao
Tao is a sweet little guy! He is 110% dedicated to warmth and cuddle time and will always ask to come up ask you to wrap him up like a burrito baby. When nobody is available to cuddle, he will resign to cuddling with a canine buddy but will always be ready to send in his resume when you are ready to fill any vacant lap-cuddler positions. He is not a fan of the cold or rain, and will do a run-away dance and act so innocently like he has no idea what you are talking about when you ask him to go outside to do his business. He’s such a cute, funny and endearing little guy. He is also very food motivated so will do well with positive reinforcement training.
While he is working on it (with better results on sunny days, haha), he is a work in progress for house and leash training and will need a home committed to keeping him on track to get gold stars in these departments. He does sometimes bark when left and so any applicant that lives in attached housing must be home more often to establish a schedule he can get used to. He does sleep through the night in his crate with just an offering of a kiss and cookie to tuck him in. A puppy is a lot of work so please do include in your application your plan to help your puppy be the best he/she can be and be sure you have the time and commitment to bring a puppy home.
