Yankee here! I started my journey from Taiwan to Canada just over two weeks ago and I’m super excited to finally get to start searching for my forever home. I am one years old and am a tall lanky guy, weighing in at about 66lbs, but foster mom says I am all legs!
So I already know how gorgeous I am, but I am also quiet the character. I am curious and up for any adventure, but I am also a big whimp and will “scream” for help when I’m caught or tangled and will whine when it’s time to go outside, play or generally just wants attention. Foster mom says I am a mix of a kid and an old soul. I love to nap and relax on the couch for hours but then will have a burst of energy and will do my zoomies around the house until I’m tired again.
I am currently living at home with my foster parents and 2-legged brother who is 8 and I absolutely love them all, but I am especially a daddy’s boy. I hate my ears and feet being touched so I think older kids who can understand this will be best. I also lived with two big dogs and some cats and I’m not very interested in either, so a home with or without them would be fine. I do have to admit, I am completely fascinated with squirrels and would love a backyard where I can sit and watch them all day. I am a slight flight risk, so I will need a completely fenced back yard and will need to be leashed up on all walks. I would also love a home where we could go on runs/jogs or at least nice long walks!
I am good on a leash (except for when those squirrels run by), am completely house trained however I am blank slate when it comes to tricks and would love to spend the time learning them with you as I am very smart and will be a good student. I am crate trained, I do whine a bit but eventually will settle down, but would be happier on the couch taking a snooze or cuddled up with my people. I love my stuffies and chew toys but would also benefit from some interactive toys like puzzles and kongs to help keep me busy.
So if you are down to go on adventures and have lots of cuddles, send your applications in here!
** PLEASE NOTE: SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS WILL HAVE TO DRIVE TO NAPANEE FOR A MEET AND GREET **
