Hello, My name is Blackie (formerly known as Omar) and I am proud to announce that I am ARF’s first “Pet of the Week!” Exciting isn’t it?!
This is me when I was just a puppy!
I was told that I should give you all a little bit of background on me, so here goes!
This was me a few months ago!
I am about 6 months old and I have been with ARF since May. They rescued me with some of my siblings, but they've all been adopted. I am really smart, learning sit, down and shake a paw really fast and I was also told that I am the world champion at loose leash walking! I guess that is a pretty big thing since dogs my age tend to be a little bit rambunctious. I also love to play with other puppies and I am very polite. I have great doggie manners! I am in a home with 5 other dogs and I know to wait my turn when it’s feeding time and I also take treats very gently. I am also very sweet and I love to cuddle and have my belly rubbed!
My foster home says that I am an agile, high-energy dog and they think I would excel at agility training…. I don’t know what that is, but it sounds fun! I am also pretty good at my recall. I still need a little bit of work in new environments. I guess they call that “proofing”. When I’m in new places or there are new dogs around, I forget sometimes because I’m really excited. Who can blame me though… I’m still just a puppy! I guess I will need a little work with socialization and new environments so that I don’t get overly excited, but that’s ok. I’m ready and willing to work on this with my forever home! Plus, ARF told me that they offer 6 weeks of obedience training with an adoption and that it would give me and my new home and excellent opportunity to bond and learn, so I think that would be super! If you’re interested in learning more about me (because I’m really awesome!), watch ARF’s website to see when I will be at PetsMart or just bite the bullet and fill out one of their adoption forms! You won’t be disappointed!
Lots of kisses,
These Blogs are great! Good job Julie B!
