Fuego

My story

Current Location: Front Royal, VA Meet Fuego Fuego is a one year old, 55 pound Catahoula Leopard Dog with a black and tan coat, an awesome smile, and a warm and happy energy once he is comfortable and knows he can be himself with people. Although initially shy, he is now loving, playful, and genuinely joyful in a way that makes every day with him feel like a good one. He has settled into foster life beautifully. His favorite things include snuggling with his people, napping by the door in a patch of sunshine, exploring the backyard at his own curious pace, playing with other dogs, and working his way through every toy he can find. He is the kind of dog who is happy whether the day is an adventure or a quiet one, as long as his people are nearby. Fuego is not a crate fan and made that opinion known on night one in the most decisive way possible. He has since found his perfect sleeping arrangement at the foot of the bed in his own dog bed, where he spends the entire night quietly and contentedly. Some dogs simply know what works for them and Fuego is one of them. He loves going for walks and is doing wonderfully getting comfortable with the sights and sounds of the neighborhood, kids on scooters and bikes, baby strollers, and all the general business of the world outside. He has firmly established that squirrel chasing is not on the agenda, a house rule he and his foster mom have come to a mutual understanding about. He is great in the car, equally happy stretched out across the backseat or sitting up to watch the world go by out the window like the curious and content boy he is. Although Fuego looks forward to adventures with his foster family, he is cautious and timid meeting new people. He is looking for a forever home that understands he is still learning to trust and just needs a little patience until he is comfortable. He has had no accidents in the house and appears to be house trained, which is just one more thing to love about him
