Tyler D14288 (Sponsored)

A portion of my adoption fee has been sponsored by my friends at The Murray Fund. The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $450.00 will be applied during the contract process I am Tyler. I am from Missouri. From the foster: Tyler (aka Ty or TieDye) is a very sweet, curious, almost one year old puppy! He's from Missouri, has the cutest little beard and a crooked tail that he still wags very happily! He's high energy at times, with the occasional zoomies, but he also snoozes a lot throughout the day, chews on his bone for long stretches, and loves to snuggle in and watch a show. He loves any kind of ball and plays "soccer" with both his foster brothers who are eight and twelve years old, who adore him. He also loves going on walks and does pretty well on a leash. He does fine with slower walks, but also appreciates going faster as well so may do well with a jogger or runner. He is working on not pulling with excitement when he sees other dogs on his walks. He does great in the car and loves riding along to pick up kids or run errands. He wants to be friends with all dogs and humans, including kids. He needs more socialization with other dogs as he approaches them with a mix of curiosity, hesitation, and not knowing what to do. He can be quite vocal and cries when he sees other dogs that he really wants to play with, and is working on sitting and calming down. He plays well with his best neighbor doggy friend, so will likely do so with other dogs as well with continued socialization. Tyler knows and responds well to "sit", "stay", "come" and "leave it". He is house-trained and sleeps well through the night, in bed with his current foster, without needing to go outside. During the day, he does crates well for short amounts of time after some initial hesitation and resistance, and will at times go into his crate on his own when he's super tired. Ty loves to give kisses and can get a bit mouthy when seeking attention, and will need to continue to work on that. He's also working on not jumping on people when he's super excited to see them. He'd do best with family with older considerate kids based on this. He seems to have a bit of a sensitive tummy with new foods, and has done well with a mix of dry and wet dog food (Pedigree as introduced by his first foster) and treats in between meals, including the occasional blueberry. Tyler is a VERY good boy, and such a lovely, active family dog! He's stolen his current foster family's hearts, and they are sure you'll fall in love with him as well once you meet him!
