Not long ago, I was dumped in a field with my best friend. We were hungry, scared, and confused. We stayed together, waiting for someone to come back. Eventually, a kind family found us. My friend has since found a home, but I'm still wondering�'�| what did I do wrong? My foster family has shown me what love feels like, and boy, do I love them back! ��%90%BE I'm a collector! I LOVE finding nuts, carrying them around, and burying them for later. It's serious business! ��%90%BE I'm an explorer! Long walks are my favorite. I love sniffing everything, rolling in the grass, and taking in the world around me. ��%90%BE I'm a wonderful passenger! Car rides? Count me in! I settle right in and enjoy the adventure. ��%90%BE I'm a smart boy! I know tricks, love learning with treats, and patiently sit while my foster mom prepares my meals. I wait until she puts my bowl down! ��%90%BE I'm playful and affectionate! I love bouncing around, being silly, and spending time with my people. I follow my foster mom everywhere and get so wiggly when she talks to me! But I have some struggles, too. ���� I can guard my food around other dogs, and I've had an incident with a smaller dog. I'm also reactive toward unfamiliar people, especially when they approach me or my home. I need an experienced, patient person who understands large, reactive dogs and can provide structure, training, and a safe environment. An adult-only home without other pets would be best. My foster family loves me dearly, but they're living in a camper without a fenced yard. I spend too much time confined or on a leash, and they know I need more than they can give me. I'm not a perfect dog, but I'm a dog worth helping. I don't need someone to feel sorry for me. I need someone willing to understand me.
