About Honcho

(DOB 4/19/2024). Due to Honcho's young age, he has not yet been neutered. For this reason, we are only considering local placement (within 1 hour drive time of Wake Forest NC). Honcho is a fun-loving puppy that is looking for his forever family. Honcho is your typical puppy and loves to play. The other dogs in his foster home are his amazing playmates, and he has a blast with them. He is always up for a good ole' game of tug-o-war. His days are spent eating, sleeping, playing, pottying and repeat. So remember you have to be patient and ready to help him continue his potty training. Honcho needs someone home most of the time. He is too young to be left for hours on end; he would be bored and unhappy. Since his bladder is tiny right now, lots of regular outside potty breaks are important. If you don't get him out often, he may have some little accidents. He is also working on his crate training, too. He can sleep through the night without accidents in his crate. Honcho wants another fun pup in his fur-ever home to be his buddy. Older/other dogs help puppies learn and build confidence. They are natural teachers about just being a dog. Honcho can be shy when first meeting new people but warms up quickly with a little patience and then he is fine. Honcho would thrive in a home that has the time, energy & patience to shape him into their best friend. He is willing and ready to begin some puppy training. It is a great time to use toys or treats to build basic understanding of common queues or commands like SIT, DOWN, WAIT, LOOK, PLACE, COME. To puppies, training can be another play session in thier world and only 15 minutes 2-3 times a day makes quick work of it. Don't forget the importance of proper leash walking training as well. Even with a fenced yard, all puppies should learn good behavior, early on, when walking on a leash, so when you go to the vet, to an outing, etc. your little puppy that has grown into a big, strong dog won't be pulling you around. Honcho and cats --- he is good with them but will chase if they run; he thinks they, too, want to play with him. Well, who wouldn't want to play with cutie? He is expected to be a big boy, and Honcho is a bit of a chatter box, so he probably would not be a good fit for an apartment, condo or townhome living. Plus, he really wants a fenced yard (4ft-5ft) because he loves being outside with his furry friends or his people.
