More About William

William is a Prince of a dog! He is housebroken, does well in his crate but would like more than anything to sleep in a bed with his person. He is a couch cuddler and does well on his walks. He is being treated for some allergies that turned into skin/yeast infections that are starting to clear up. His new owners will need to commit to no grain premium dog food that he is on – Open Farm Front Range Grain Free Raw Mix for dogs to keep any reoccurring yeast infections at bay. He gets along with the resident 3 year old Cairn Terrier and loves to learn and be rewarded with treats. He will whine or grumble if he needs to go outside and do his business. He currently sleeps in a crate at night in another room so the resident cat can roam the house at night. Although he is curious about cats; it would be best if not placed in a home with cats since he doesn’t know their “language”. He is a sweetheart of a dog and will steal your heart.

Updates

UPDATE 4/24/2024: William is a very sweet kind soul who will steal your heart. Once settled in your home and knowing your routine he will be the best side kick and office assistant you ever had. If you are in the house, he will follow you or rest where he can at least see you. Over the last 4 weeks; he has become more comfortable with foster mom being out of sight. When foster mom runs errands, he has the run of the house and is found on the couch resting when she comes home. One-time foster mom forgot she had a small bag of treats in a tote bag on a low shelf; William found it and helped himself to it.

William may be a good scent work or barn hunt prospect because he is good at smelling things out and has a strong prey drive. If you are interested in playing in the dog sports world, he may be the dog for you. He is eager to learn and eager to please.
