Nucleus (Foster)

My story

Hi! I`m Nucleus, the Amazing Foster Dog. You can find me on Instagram with that handle. I`m super goofy, from my bow-legged strut to the awkward positions I sleep in on my humans` couch. I`ve got my own style, and I own it! You can find me on a sniffari along the Beltline on the Westside, sploofing on the tile floor in my foster fam`s kitchen, or playing through the baby gate with my feline roommates who enjoy antagonizing me. When I`m REALLY excited, I buck like a horse and run zoomies inside. My humans tell me I`m hilarious!I`m a puppy that knows how to let you know what I need! When I need to go outside for a walk, I`ll let you know by giving you some love nibbles, scratching at the door, or barking occasionally. I`m not a food-motivated dog, nor do I resource guard, but I LOVE routine. I know what I`m supposed to do from my nighttime crate routine to my first morning bathroom run. I`m good for a few short walks throughout the day to explore/ take care of business, but if it`s raining, I love to curl up with my favorite teenager for a Netflix binge or chewing on my chew toys. My current faves are Harry Potter and Modern Family reruns. I have regular playdates with friends where I get some off-leash time with other dogs my size. Hikes are fun too! I want to befriend EVERYONE! My humans are trying to teach me that not everyone loves saying hey to dogs, and this is hard for me to understand on our walks. They call this leash reactivity, but I`m just trying to play! They just won`t let me be great!
