About Pickle

Pickles - WHAT REAL LIFE WITH PICKLEs LOOKs LIKE: BY HIs FOsTER Pickles has been homed and fostered almost too many times to count. So when I heard he was being returned by his adopters because the resident dog didnt like him, I immediately said, We will foster Pickles. HERE Is OUR REALITY. When Pickles first came to our house, he was sad. He watched the window, waiting for his family. Four hours later, our grandchildren arrived. And Pickles was Pickles again. His adopters loved him, and I witnessed how incredibly difficult it was for them to leave him with us. This isnt a dog who was given up because he wasnt loved. He was loved. He just needs the right forever home. Pickles is 56 pounds, fit and trim, and has the most beautiful house manners. Completely house trained. Crate? He doesnt need one. He will lay on the couch and wait for you to return. No destruction. No shoes moved. No socks disappearing. No walking across coffee tables. Just a beautiful, well-mannered dog who wants to be with his people. Velcro dog? Truth. He wants to be with his people. Period. Kids LOVES him. Our neighbor kids come to visit him regularly, and Pickles is absolutely thrilled. He plants his bum in their laps and gives kisses. His adopters had children ages one and up, and Pickles fit right in. He is smart, too. By his third night with us, he figured out the routine. He signaled that it was bedtime and actually led the way to the bedroom. He sleeps in bed with us, quietly stays put until we wake up, and then the morning snuggles begin. Oh, the joy of starting each day with Pickles. We needed to work on his leash skills. He loves his walks but could get ahead and pull. We immediately added two daily sessions of figure eights and heel, and after just two days, his leash skills are amazing. I have never witnessed a dog apply so much self control in his efforts to please and be a good boy. Pickles wants to please. He is a handsome boy who does well with other dogs after a proper introduction. No cats for Pickles. Thats it. This is Pickles story. He will love his people with his whole heart and be an amazing companion. After everything he has been through, he deserves the best. This is our 34th foster and it will be hard to see him go. We love him and you will too. If you can be Pickles real forever, please apply: www.muttlife.org Hes ready.
