Here is what my foster mom said about me.
Foster Kieth Richards is an absolute joy! He still has a few lessons to learn about retirement, but this boy is going to make a great addition to someone's home.
Kieth is an ultimate Velcro dog and wants more than anything to be with you. Even if you are sitting, Kieth will stand by you batting his eyes until you pet him. If you take to long at this request, he will gently nudge your hand to encourage the petting. If you still take to long, he will put his head in your lap.
There is no evidence of any food aggression. I have taken food away during feeding and he did nothing. He does gulp his food. We first tried to put a large Kong in his bowl which did not slow him down much so now he gets a cup turned upside down in addition to water.
Inside, he shows no aggression to a small dog or cat. I did notice at the meet and greet he "watched" the small animals go into Petco.
He has had one accident in the house and I take complete responsibility. He was pacing and I didn't pick up on his signal. Since then we have had no issues.
He crates during the day at work. He needs a small bit of Pupperoni encouragement to crate up, but he does not show any anxiety while crated.
To say he is a bit of a bull in a china cabinet is an understatement, we are still working through his manners when he gets excited.
His other challenge is riding in a car, he has not grasped the concept at all. If it were not for the doggy divider in the SUV, he would definitely try to help you drive. At this point, I would not attempt to transport him without a kennel, a divider, or 2nd passenger to help.
Don't forget to check out my other foster brother's and sisters. All of us would like to find our forever home.
