About Damon

Would your laid back dog like a new furry sibling? Damon really enjoys his foster sister. She is his buddy and gives him an extra bit of confidence when they are together. They enjoy playing together either in the fenced yard or in the house. He seems to enjoy romping around in the house more so a fenced yard (so an apartment, condo, or townhome could be an option!!) isn't required as long as he gets daily play time and walks. He is doing good on a leash but will pull occasionally; we are working on this when we go out for walks. He is a very sweet dog!! He does like to learn new tricks; treats definitely help the motivation. So far he has learned 'sit' and 'house' (crate) and we are working on 'wait' and 'lay down.' We believe Damon is just super smart and the longer it takes the MORE treats he gets! He is likely saying, 'I am smarter than you think I am' the entire time!! Damon would love a nice comfy, fluffy bed because he loves to nap as much as he loves to play. He can be quite the couch potato and enjoys chillin' out while you work, watch TV, or read a book. He is quite the velcro dog in a lot of ways; loves to be with his people; getting love, attention and belly rubs! He really isn't a huge fan of being left alone, so a family that has school or work from home, retired, or a pretty flexible home schedule will be the best fit for snuggle boy Damon. Plus, he loves the car so if you are packing up and can take him with you, double bonus!! He will whine and cry if left alone because he really wants to be with his family. He can also be a 'sous chef' in the kitchen. If you are cooking, he won't hesitate to be as 'helpful' as he can possible be; don't turn your back because he is happy to be a 'taste tester'! He gets a long nicely with all the doggies he has met and even does ok with the kitties, too. He will chase them if they take off running, but hasn't done any harm, so dog savvy cats should be good to go. Stranger isn't a word Damon understands as he has been friendly with everyone he has met. Damon has not had an opportunity to meet young children yet. He shares his toys well but can also be know for hogging them up. Maybe he didn't have a lot of toys in his previous life and is just so happy to have so many options, soft, squeaky, tug-o-war, etc. He loves to take the soft toys and tear them apart. It's a fun and playful 'how fast can I get this done' kind of a thing. Pretty sure he is smiling the whole time! Damon is still a little mouthy when he is excited, and he will grab you, clothes, toys, or shoes, so it is a behavior we working on. If he goes in his crate he will occasionally chew his bedding. Likely with time and a little patience these behaviors will continue to improve. Damon is heartworm positive. Please don't let this prevent you from adopting him. He deserves a loving home like all of the other dogs, and the rescue will cover his heartworm treatment. For this reason, we are only considering local placement (within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC) until after her treatment is complete. (DOB 07/30/2021) As part of Damon's $300 adoption fee, he is neutered, microchipped, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
