🐶 Basics • Biscuit • Age / Size: 9yo 13 lbs • Surrendered in Texas after previous owner passed away 💛 Personality Snapshot • Describe in 3–5 words: Funny little goblin with some sass • Energy level (Low / Moderate / High): Moderate • More people‑oriented or independent? Both, depending on his mood • How do they handle new situations? He needs time to adjust and can be very hot and cold, he’s making progress everyday though! 🐕 Social & Home Life • How are they with people (adults/kids/new people)? Biscuit warms up in a few minutes and takes his time getting to know people. I would recommend he not be placed with kids under 12 as he doesn't like to share toys! • How are they with other dogs? Good! We’ve only met them on the street and our building but he’s been great. • Cats or other animals (if known)? Cat tested in Texas and good • Behavior when left alone or when guests visit: Nervous, but he warms up. 🎓 Training & Manners • Potty trained? Yes! Fantastic at it • Crate trained? Yes! • Leash skills: Excellent!! Loves his walks • Commands known (if any): He can do sit! Very food motivated 🌞 Daily Life • Typical day with you: Morning walk, breakfast/meds, back to bed for a couple of hours, walk, playtime with lunch, relaxing on the couch for the evening, dinner/meds, evening walk, bed time in the crate • Exercise needs: not much!! He’s a couch guy who likes his average walk • Favorite activities or toys: He loves his lampchop! He’s EXCELLENT at fetch and will bring things right back to you! 🌱 Growth Areas • Anything they’re still working on? He can be food aggressive. A slow feeder helps him not just inhale his meals. I think he would respond best as a single pet for now while he adjusts to all of this change. • What helps them succeed? We are rewarding positive touch, we are giving him treats while petting him to give a positive association. We are giving him space and letting him come to us. This has been a big part of his progress. I am rewarding him for touch when eating with praise as he will tolerate it. 🏡 Ideal Home • Only dog / With dog / Either: only dog but potentially either • Good fit for apartment living? Perfect! • Best type of household (active, moderate, calm): calm to moderate! • What kind of adopter would be the best match? Someone who wants a well trained, hilarious dog who is willing to meet him where he’s at and work with on his behavioral and reactionary issues with him. He really does not need a crazy amount of training, just consistency and time, and probably to be the only pet. 💙 Foster Note He’s very silly. He will rub his whole body along the couch and snort at us because he wants treats. He will also “dig” on the couch before he lays down and we call him “DJ Biscuit” INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?
