Teriyaki came from a packed Texas shelter, quiet and unsure of the world around him. But just a short time in foster care has revealed a different side of this deep-hearted boy—one that's affectionate, loyal, and slowly learning that he's safe. He's a true lovebug, accepting affection from everyone he meets. He's especially bonded with his foster dad—he's even claimed a spot on his side of the bed. Once Teriyaki gives his heart, it's yours. Leash training is still in progress—he's strong as an ox and has a definite prey drive (deer are very exciting). But he's improving, step by step. He's not food-motivated, but calm praise makes all the difference. - Affectionate, loyal, and soulful - Bonds deeply (especially with the soft-hearted humans) - Strong prey drive—needs confident handler - Praise over treats, always - Sleeping soundly next to his favorite human - Transport available Teriyaki is growing into himself—safe, steady, and ready to share his heart with someone who understands the quiet beauty of earning trust. **Teriyaki is located in Little Rock, AR.
