He is the sweetest, most loving companion with soulful eyes, big floppy ears, and little speckled legs. He loves belly rubs, falling asleep in your lap, and generally being in very close proximity to his human. He is a snuggle bug in the house and a curious, friendly boy on the leash. Within the first five minutes of bringing him home he rolled over and asked for belly rubs and greatly improved on the leash after just a few days. His nose is to the ground during walks, always investigating and exploring.He needs time outside to smell around and be his adorable hound self! He appears very disinterested in other animals, like squirrels, birds, and mice. He is not reactive to aggressive dogs either. He is a social butterfly—great with other dogs (big and small), strangers on the street, friends in the house, and adoring toddlers and children. Cain is a gentle, floppy boy in all his interactions, and he always wants to make friends. He loves to curl up on the couch while you work or watch something, loves to join you while you nap, and LOVES his treats. He does not chew or gnaw on hands/feet, but will find a little something to nibble if you aren’t watching him. He is very adaptable and very trusting. He is a scent-driven boy outside and a snuggle and food motivated boy in the house. He is a quick learner and is well on the way to being potty trained. He likes to spend time in his crate, eat in his crate, and play in his crate. He is still learning to feel comfortable spending time alone in his crate during the day. Cain is very receptive to training and very smart. He also likes to fetch inside! He would be the perfect addition to any family or a great companion for someone who wants an adoring sidekick. He is full of love to give and is ready to settle into his furever family!" Level of dog ownership experience required: INTERMEDIATE – As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day. The adopter must have relevant primary care experience with a similar breed, temperament, and/or energy level. (Primary care experience includes ownership, fostering, or dog sitting as an adult, not a dog you grew up with.) Relevant puppy care experience is a huge plus, but bare minimum the adopter must have TONS of time and patience. Raising a puppy can be a lot of fun, but it’s also tremendous work. Puppies’ personalities and exercise/stimulation requirements change dramatically between now and when they’re a year old as their bodies and brains develop, so an active lifestyle and the ability to adapt to a pup’s evolving needs are a must. We strongly urge professional dog training with a rewards based trainer from the get go. Adults only or kids ages 8 and up – all puppies go through a mouthy, rambunctious phase and often accidentally hurt children when playing. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN BREED RESEARCH to make sure you have a better understanding of the kind of temperament and exercise requirements this dog may have as an adult. Energy level: MEDIUM – Very young puppies sleep and nap a lot, but their energy level skyrockets when they become teens (4 months to around a year). As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day at a minimum. (This is regardless of dog size – ma
