Tope is incredibly adorable little guy. About 18 pounds and a little over a year old, we call him the little black shadow because he will follow his humans around the house wherever they go! This sweet boy has a heart of gold, you can see it when you look in his eyes which will completely melt your heart. Tope finds so much joy in his daily walks, interacting with other dogs, and curling up in his crate and on the sofa. He’s as good on the leash as he is on the sofa. He is quite timid with new people, but has really taken to his foster human who is nine years old.
Tope really enjoys his dogs friends and would do best in a home with other dogs to help him work on his confidence with his human family. His new family should understand that he’s a shy guy still trying to figure out what his two legged companions are all about, but some consistency and love should help him relax. He is crate trained, but is still learning potty training when he is not in his crate. Tope is a bit of a homebody and the poor guy doesn’t love the car; he will get car sick even on short drives and with an empty stomach. So he’s hoping his new family will want to hang out at home with him!
Tope would benefit from a home that would continue to work on training basics with him, continuing his potty training and commands like sit and stay. Please email adopt@rocketdogrescue.org! (RDS)
