ESTIMATED WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 40-60 lbs KNOWN WITH DOGS: Sidney likes his siblings and is curious about the resident dogs at his foster home, though he is too young to meet them just yet! KNOWN WITH CATS: TBD KNOWN WITH KIDS: TBD KNOWN COMMANDS: Will learn very quickly! KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING/OR CRATING: Too young yet, though Sidney is the most consistent in his litter about going to the pee pad area - even when the tray is momentarily out for cleaning! KNOWN LIKES: Cuddling. playing, and mealtimes. gently gnawing on soft toys and blankets. KNOWN DISLIKES: We haven't identified any dislikes yet. ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: This litter of four came to us when their mama refused to nurse them. They have been raised by bottle feeder fosters and are thriving! Sidney is an irresistible little guy. He has a soft black coat with barely-there brown eyebrows, brown markings on his legs and feet, and some white coming in on his chest. He is the smallest of the litter, but is growing quickly in size and skill. If a bigger sibling sends him tumbling he'll be right back on his feet to deliver a tail tug (though not always to the offender ;o)! He holds his own in the mush pit at feeding time, managing to wear just as much food as everyone else. His superpower is sitting in a cute lump and gazing up at you with his beautiful dark eyes. He knows this will get him scooped up for snuggles because... who could resist?
