Flip Flop

Flip Flop is a 1-year old dingus who is looking for an active adult home. He’s very keyed up at the shelter, so it’s hard for him to settle down and nail his first impressions. He’s a sweet kiddo and has done well outside the shelter in his foster home. His foster writes: He is SUCH a sweet and curious boy, wanting to be anywhere we are in the house. There isn’t a mean bone in his body. He loves to snuggle and isn’t shy about laying on top of us when given the chance! Flip Flop loves toys of all kinds- chews, plush, balls, challenge toys and he will entertain himself with toys or respond well to being played with. We limited toys out in the house to 2 as he likes to collect them for himself. He likes to playfully growl and play tug of war. Flip Flop does fine being bathed in an enclosed space as he will try to get out otherwise, and he loves running around in the yard. He does sometimes nibble on various items (blankets, pillows) but responds easily to redirects to dog-approved items. Other than the first day at our house, Flip Flop has only gone potty outside and even has rung the bells on the door a few times to indicate going outside. He sleeps through the night in his crate without any problems at all and barks in the morning when ready to wake up! He has taken to the crate really well if needed when being left alone- No destructive behavior noted at all. He is not well leash trained and pulls heavily on a leash, but Gentle Leader head collar training is starting, as he responded well (other than trying to get it off :)) when we practiced it with our current dog’s Gentle Leader. He follows commands for sit, lay down, and no and usually responds to his name. He does not respond to come, down/off. “
