Ambrose is ready for his forever   Foster Home Feedback  ** Not Apartment Friendly ** Older, Considerate Children 6/4/25 Foster Feedback: Ambrose is looking for a female-only home while he continues to work through his reactivity and fear-based aggression toward men. His foster family is helping him build confidence and feel safe around men. So for right now, it will be safer for Ambrose to be in a no male household. If you're a woman looking to give a loving pup a second chance, he might be your perfect match. With time, love, and continued support, Ambrose has so much potential to become your most loyal companion. 5/18/25 Foster Feedback: This sweet boy is really starting to come out of his shell! I've noticed he gains a lot of confidence when he has another dog around — he follows their lead, especially when it comes to going potty outside, which has helped reduce indoor accidents. Speaking of accidents, Ambrose is  doing much better while I’m away. Limiting his water intake during those times has made a big difference in helping him with not having inside accidents. He’s also starting to show more interest in toys, which is a great sign that he’s feeling more comfortable. Ambrose is still a bit nervous outside the safety of the yard, but we’re working on slowly building his confidence in new environments. Because he tends to bark at small sounds, apartment living likely isn’t the best fit for him — a quieter home with some space would be ideal. Overall, he’s making steady progress and will thrive with a patient adopter who can continue helping him gain trust and confidence. 4/14/25 Foster Feedback: If you are looking for a couch potato, look no further! Ambrose is dog friendly, cat friendly, and tolerable with kids. Living with small kids (5 and under) makes him nervous with their fast movements. However, if they come for a short visit, he is very good with them.  He does well with other dogs but will let them know when they are becoming too much. Ambrose can show some food guarding (barks and growls when a dog comes close to a food dish), so feeding the dogs separately is ideal. Ambrose is potty trained, but can be very stubborn when going outside. Therefore, he does have an occasional accident mainly when I’m at work. The world outside my property is scary for Ambrose, so we are working on building up his confidence while on the leash. He isn’t crate trained yet, but does well free roaming. Ambrose mainly sleeps on the couch or in his spot in my room. Ambrose has been the best house guest while he’s been with me. He loves belly rubs and having his butt scratched. He has such a kind personality and permanent puppy eyes, that are to die for. Ambrose will make you fall in love with him!To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org June 7, 2025, 2:41 pm
