About October

October is a sweet, gentle soul. At about 6 months old, he's still small but is expected to grow into a big dog, so you're getting a lot of love in a large package. What stands out most is how calm and polite he is. He observes the dogs and cats in his foster home carefully, giving them their space. Unlike most puppies, who tend to pounce first and think later, October is perceptive and knows how to read the room. He loves to chew on toys, rawhides, and anything else he can get his mouth around. A good stash of chew toys will keep him happy! October is also very food motivated and works hard for treats, making him a promising training prospect. If you’ve been looking for a puppy eager to learn commands like sit and stay, he’s ready to start. Though he can be a bit shy initially, he warms up to new people quickly. With encouragement and positive reinforcement, his confidence will grow. Having a resident dog to learn from would help him come out of his shell faster. October's ideal home would have another dog to be his companion and role model or a family ready to help build his confidence through positive training. He would thrive with someone home often or willing to help him learn to be alone, as he gets anxious when left completely by himself. Moreover, he needs space and enthusiasm for a pup who will grow into a large dog. If you want a gentle, trainable companion to grow up beside you, October could be your perfect match. Fall in love with October this October!
