Newton is a gorgeous boy who was very shy when he was first rescued. He has shown significant improvement in his loving foster home and is less shy when meeting new people. After a proper introduction, he seeks out chin scratches and belly rubs. Newton has enjoyed running in the backyard and chasing a ball, and he will certainly need a secure, fenced yard to safely explore and get his zoomies. He is house-trained, sleeps well at night in his kennel, and does not have separation anxiety. Newton occasionally barks but settles down, takes treats gently, and knows basic commands including "sit," "stay," and "wait." He walks well on a leash, particularly in the neighborhood and on trails, but needs additional training to prevent occasional pulling. Newton sheds his gorgeous coat once a year and loves to be brushed with a wire brush to keep it under control. He gets along well with other dogs after a proper introduction and would benefit from having another confident dog in the home. Newton is not at all aggressive and responds to scary or new situations by backing away so he can get comfortable on his own terms. As he continues to overcome his shyness, he has shown that he is eager to explore, have new experiences, and meet new people. Newton is looking for a family that will continue with his training and socialization to ensure he will reach his potential. Inquire about meeting Newton because it will be love at first sight!
