Meet easygoing Groopert

Hi, I’m Groopert.

I’m an easygoing boy who loves chewing bones and going for walks.

I am fully house-trained and I am very good at letting my foster mom know when I need to go outside. I am crate-trained and I go in the crate when my foster mom is not home, but I don’t love it in there yet. I complain when I first go in, but I will settle into a nap after a few minutes.

I am good with other dogs. In fact, I quite like seeing other dogs on walks and meeting them for playdates. But my foster mom doesn’t know how I will be with cats. She says that I don’t seem to have a high prey drive, but I am a pretty curious puppy and I might annoy some cats.

I love going for walks and I am pretty good on the leash. I don’t pull, but sometimes I get a bit excited and jump on my foster mom when we are outside. I do need practise meeting strangers on walks. Right now I have a bit of stranger-danger, so I will let out a few woofs when people walk towards me but I warm up quickly when they stop to meet me.

Although my foster mom loves to tell me “no” when I am nosing around in her things, she says overall I am a good boy. I don’t chew on furniture, I play a fair game of fetch, I don’t jump on strangers, I will do just about anything for a treat, and I am good at playing solo when she is busy.
