I’m an affectionate, loyal younger senior with plenty of pep. Sure, I
might have a little stiffness, but it doesn’t hold me back. I’m smart,
treat-motivated and super-attentive. I enjoy learning new things,
playing enrichment games and doing food puzzles. But I don’t have to be
active all the time. I love a good belly rub and take plenty of naps.
Walks and car rides are fun too!
My current people work from home and I feel more secure when I know
where they are. I can spend a half day alone, no problem, and I’ll wait
patiently by the door so I can give them a big happy hello when they get
home. I haven’t lived with children. I bet I’d like older kids who
learn to speak dog language but younger kids may be too unpredictable
for me.
Being in a predictable house helps me feel calm. I monitor my
surroundings and will let you know when something’s going on outside,
but once you show me you understand, I’ll go back to being chill (truth
be told, the meds I’m taking help a lot with that).
I bond quickly with my primary people but need encouragement to welcome
others into my pack. I didn’t have a lot of experience socializing in my
early years so my foster family has been helping me expand my circle.
We’ve learned great tips for meeting new people and giving me breaks if I
seem overwhelmed. I’m also muzzle trained if unfamiliar people need to
get close. I’ve been working with a trainer in Corvallis who
understands my fears and how to help me cope with them. If you decide
to open your home to me SDRO will provide some training sessions to help
us all settle in comfortably.
We haven’t brought other dogs or cats into our circle, but I’m learning
to live with them in my neighborhood. Who knows? In time I might warm up
to a few but I think I’d rather be the only pet in my home.
I have quite a few friends now and am ready to meet more. How about you?
