Tickles is a delightful 6-month-old mixed breed, possibly with some Border Collie, who currently weighs about 25 lbs and is estimated to reach 40-50 lbs when fully grown. He arrived in Maine from Alabama feeling a bit nervous, but has quickly blossomed in his foster home, showing his happy and silly personality. Tickles adores being outdoors, where he loves to explore, run, play, and chase balls. He has made fast friends with the other dogs in his foster home and would love a canine companion in his forever home. He also enjoys gentle affection and praise from his people. Tickles has shown some nervousness around men, initially barking upon seeing them, but he is not aggressive and warms up quickly with kindness and treats. He sees his doggy playpen as a secure space and is gradually becoming more comfortable exploring the rest of the house. He has also shown curiosity towards the resident cat, following her with a wagging tail.
Ideal Home
Tickles would thrive in a home with other playful dogs where he can feel secure and loved.
Ongoing Health

Training & Support
Tickles is still working on his confidence with the rest of the house and leash walking. He will need continued practice with leash training and basic commands, which will be easier once he feels secure with his person. His initial nervousness around men is improving with positive reinforcement.
