Rupert

Profile

Rupert came to us on Saturday and we are having a great time acclimating him to his new surroundings. Here is what we know about Rupert so far. He is one-year old, he's about 60 pounds, and we think he's a pure golden. His former owners had to move and this lucky guy found his way to RAGOM. He was an outdoor dog and is now learning how to live indoors. We're in the early stages of potty training and he seems to be catching on. He likes living inside very much as evidenced by his constant smiling and tail wagging. He is genuinely good natured and is one of the happiest dogs we have come across. He loves his new foster brother (our resident Toby) and they can play all day long! He is also a natural at fetch, although he needs to learn better how to give up the ball.

We've not had the chance to have him around children yet, but he lived with two children and his former owners say he is great with them. There has been no resource guarding whatsoever and we can freely take anything from him. He reluctantly goes in the crate and can sleep through the night. He knows the sit command (when prompted by treats anyway) and we are working with him on other commands.

He has a really big day tomorrow. He has an appointment with the vet for an initial examination, to get current on all his shots, and to get neutered. We'll give the full report when he gets back!

Rupert will make someone a wonderful companion.
