Santa

Description

Introducing our newest boy, Santa! This handsome well mannered boy is a easy, mellow mid aged 5 year old. Santa, formally named Otis was in our care before and has come back into our care for his previous owner is no longer able to care for him and has found his way back into the loving arms at DRM. A testament to our commitment and devotion to them that they will always have a place in our care no matter the time that has passed.  Santa had obstruction surgery awhile back and his digestion is just a little more sensitive and will require a well balanced and premium quality diet and fed small meals through out the day and high digestible meals and only all natural treats.  He’s doing great with his house training and hasn't had any accidents; he’s even learned to signal when he needs to go out! He is a polite eater and is very well-behaved in his crate during the day. He also loves  good morning snuggles.   - Kids: He is wonderful with kids! He’s been very sweet with the older children in our home. He has had experience with younger children in his previous home.    - People: He is a social butterfly with everyone he meets in public.   - Dogs: He’s a playful friend who loves to wrestle, run, and play tug-of-war.   - Cats/Small Animals: He’s very curious and "flirtatious" with our cat, showing no aggression at all. Personality and Play This sweet boy is a total cuddle bug! He loves being close to people and has a fun time with tennis balls, even if he’s still learning the ropes of fetch. He settles in nicely during car rides after getting some initial pets. Training and Exercise He’s such a smart learner! He’s mastered "sit" and is making great progress with "lay down," "wait," and "leave it"—he can even balance a treat on his nose! Since he’s an enthusiastic walker and can pull, we recommend a training collar and continued obedience training for him. Fosters are still working on his recall, a fenced yard would be perfect to keep him safe while he explores. This fabulous foster is a Doberman Rescue Minnesota foster dog.
