MEET SOX!
Woof everyone! I'm Sox, or shall we say “fox?” Yeah, I get that a lot. In addition to my awesomeness, I’m also pretty exotic lookin. Regal, right? I’m 45lbs and will probably not get significantly bigger. Per DNA testing, I am a cattle dog (50%) x malinois x dutch shepherd mix!
My life started with a bit of an adventure – I was rescued alongside a lovely lady shepherd and a bunch of other playful pups who I came to love as my own brothers and sisters.
Fast forward to now – I'm the definition of playfulness and energy. Fetch, tug-of-war, you name it – I'm always up for a good time. After a month in foster, I finally started to feel more comfortable around my foster doggy siblings and I am totally one of the squad now!
Thanks to my super amazing foster parents, I’ve made great strides with crate training and encountering other dogs and people on walks. I’m starting to realize how great walks around the neighborhood are!
I don’t mean to brag, but I was potty trained in just a few weeks! The one thing I’m a little behind on is my love for the car. My foster is optimistic that I may get more comfortable as I get older with the help of training and positive distractions.
More from Sox’s foster:
- Playful with passive females once he knows them
- Usually neutral towards other dogs on walks and when meeting them for the first time
- Barked at his first cat once and then sniffed and left alone for the most part (he was on leash but wasn’t obsessive or pulling towards the cat)
- Is loving walks and doesn’t find the outside so scary anymore!
- Can be timid in crowds, but listens and takes direction with treats
- Is getting friendly with new people, alert barking when someone comes into the house but shows interest, takes treats, and allows pets on first meeting
- Nervous on car rides, but able to be distracted with a chew and treats and can now sit in a non-moving car which exhibiting anxiety
