Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know: QTip is an adorable little sweetheart! He came to Delaware from West Virginia where he was formerly used for breeding. He is the sweetest boy and his curly coat is so soft! He loves attention. He will sit patiently while you brush or pet him and will paw at your hand to continue if you stop. Regular grooming will be necessary for QTip to keep his coat in good shape. QTip is housebroken and always keeps his crate clean. He sleeps quietly in his crate at night in his foster mom's room. He prefers to be out if someone is home but he's fine to be crated during the work day as long as he can see his doggie friends. He loves his dog foster siblings and is his most confident self when they are nearby. He often looks to them for guidance and follows their lead. He'll need a friendly pup or two that are around his size in his forever home so they can show him the ropes. A securely fenced in yard is a must. Until he trusts his new family members, he might hesitate to come to you when called. Once he's comfortable with you, he will be your shadow and will come running from wherever he is, inside or outside, when you call him. He is shy and hesitant at first around new people and doesn't like loud noises or sudden movements. He likes to be near his people and he really loves it when people pet him. He is a great companion and will sit on your lap or next to you on the couch all day! Since QTip does not like loud noises or sudden movements, he shouldn't be placed with children under 12. He wags his tail when he sees children, but is terrified when they run around. If your pack needs another member, QTip would love to join you!
