Ilya is an outgoing guy that has a TON of energy and drive! This guy doesn't have time to stop and smell the roses before he's moving on to his next activity. He's a true athlete! His foster says "Ilya has been great! Ilya is fun and playful, but also calms down quickly when it is time to rest. While he has been in my care, he has been exposed to other dogs, cats, and children and has done great with them all, showing no signs of aggression. He is house and crate trained very well. I have been working on his listening skills with him, and he has learned and adapted quickly to my commands. I think he would do well in a home that is active and is home majority of the day as he gets slightly anxious when left alone for long periods."
