We've got a little sport mix puppy at our house for a bit. He and another, adult male were purchased for a working dog program. The older guy, Sparky, is doing very well and thriving. This little guy, who I've decided to call Jones, was completely overwhelmed and more or less shut down. Jason brought him home for me to work with as the more sensitive/soft dogs tend to thrive with me (no idea why, so it's not on purpose). He will probably be placed in a home with a little girl. I'm just getting some house manners on him and also evaluating him overall.
Anyway, I have him kenneled away from the rest of the group (b/c they're obnoxious around feeding/pottying/exercising/training times...ok, they're obnoxious when awake LOL). He met Eden first but it was dark so no pics. We always introduce new pets/fosters/visitors to Eden first. She can always, without fail, get them to play with her and relax.
Then he met Finny, who is a wonderful and polite playmate.
