Baron

My story

Few ladies can achieve the gorgeous eye make up that our boy Baron (aka "Bear-bear", "wiggle butt") flaunts, along with perfectly peaked ears and a handsome swagger! With his big smile and happy, wiggly butt, he will get any Grinch into the holiday spirit! Baron is ready to play but past those blessed puppy stages! He has never had an accident in his foster home, and calmly sits at the door to be let out when he needs it. He could demonstrate sit, shake, and lay-down as soon as he arrived. He loves to show physical affection, whether he is trying to "hug" you with his paws, bury his face in your lap, or full-body spoon in bed. While he prefers half of your cal-king bed to sleep, he is also a good boy in his crate! His affection and eager-to-please personality spans from adults to small children, who he happily allows to snuggle him right back. Unfortunately, cats don't appreciate his snuggles quite as much, and while he does not pursue them to injure, he is still curious and likes to ask them to play. He responds well to "leave it" in these situations, and is showing less and less interest in them. Baron is pawsy in play, and loves a playmate! He especially loves other pawsy dogs around his size, who get the zoomies like he does! He makes the cutest noises wrestling with his husky-shepherd foster brother. In fetch, he will happily frolic off in chase, but promptly forgets the "fetch" part. He does love soft, squishy and squeaky toys, as well as some good old fashioned tug-o-war. He is good at engaging play, however is relatively submissive should another dog not appreciate his style. He readily rolls over, belly up for forgiveness, and asks for a re-do! Baron is perfect for an active adventurer, but also loves a good cozy day on the couch. He truly appreciates a good Netflix binge as much as we do, and expects snacks to be shared. He is not food aggressive, but is very motivated by treats. He is more of a grazer when it comes to meals. He's been enjoying Benebones and shows zero interest in stinky shoes! Baron is a fast learner, and quickly picked up his new name, and the foster-household routines. He knows when to expect the kids home from school and fully greets and inspects them upon their return. His kisses are sweet, gentle, and not too sloppy, and he really appreciates a bald baby with dinner still stuck to his head. Baron is happy to assist in "Clean the baby" time, when the dogs are given permission to clean the floor, highchair, and baby, post-meal. Did you drop something on the floor while cooking, and can't pick it up? Simply call "clean up!", tap your toe near the mess, and Baron will be RIGHT there on duty! He is the perfect Sous Chef who will both clean, and perform quality control, for your meal time.  Baron will walk excitedly on a leash, but responds quickly to correction. He constantly looks to the human in charge for affirmation. He listens best to his foster mom, versus his foster dad, but he spends the most time with her as she works from home. He may give foster-dad the side-eye when told to go outside, yet he has no problem pouncing into bed on him!  He lounges comfortably on car and plane rides, and will gladly sit in the back, or shotgun. We are curious if he is 5% bunny rabbit, as he has quite the spring in his step! He can easily bounce straight over a baby gate, however once told to "stay", he obliges.  He also enjoys acquiring a spot on the couch via the back of the couch, versus the front, but again responds well to correction with this nifty party trick of his. (We will admit, it's quite fun to watch him do it!) ##1589834##
