This silly guy has a fun, cartoonish personality—he is all about snuggles, play, and leaning right up against you on the couch. While he's not a trick expert yet, Churchill is working on his manners, commands like sit and stay, and loose leash walking. New experiences might worry him at first, but his curiosity and quick adaptability help him bounce back fast. Churchill does best as the star of your home—he enjoys select roughhousing with dog friends, but is still learning proper canine etiquette and can get a bit too excited, so careful introductions or even being your only pet might be ideal. He finds security in his crate when home alone, and at night he cozies up there or snuggles with his family on the couch. He’s been thriving in his foster home with the loving attention he receives each day. Born July 11, Churchill is a Cancer, which means he’s naturally affectionate and devoted, always happiest at your side.
