About Me:
Hi, I am Roy I came into foster care when I was 12 weeks old with several of my siblings. My Foster-Mom thinks I am as cute-as-can-be. I have two foster sisters in my home, and I love to play with my almost three-year-old lab sister. We wrestle, tug-o-war and share our toys nicely. We have so much fun! My older sister is a 11-year-old Springer Spaniel and I am much gentler in my playing with her, because I can tell that rough housing isn’t her favorite, but when she is ready, I am willing! My Foster Mom thinks that I am quite smart because I can tell when people or other dogs need more space and I respect that. I have been working on becoming a good listener and if I don’t listen the first time, I generally know to listen if voices get a little louder and firmer. I am really good at keeping my puppy teeth to myself and I get lots of praise for not being a bitey-boy!

I have been sleeping in my crate like a good pup since day one! I even “kennel-up!” when told and wait for my treat to get tossed into my kennel. I rarely complain in my crate and if I do, just hearing the word- “Quiet!” usually works just fine.

I have had zero accidents in my crate and am sleeping through the night without causing a fuss. I still have occasional accidents in the house, but I am learning to give off good cues that I want to go out, like sniffing around, going to the door, ringing bells on the door. I am learning.

My yard is fenced in and there is also a large deck to play on. I like to be outside with my foster sisters and my family but love to come inside too so I can be with everyone.

I have been lucky to be able to see and play with one of my litter-brothers a few times and we love to see each other and rough-house and play.

My foster family thinks I am one of the sweetest and smartest pups they ever have cared for. I am looking for a home with a family who appreciates all my good qualities and stunning good looks.
