Forrest

Forrest Male Breed: Hound DOB: 1/28/23, Age: 2 years Weight: 54 lbs. Forrest is a 2 year old hound who recently made the trip to Buffalo from a shelter in West Virginia. While we dont know much about his previous life, it seems he is very comfortable outside and may have been kept primarily outdoors. Since coming to Buffalo with his new foster mom, he has begun to adapt werll to the benefits of living indoors. He loves a comfy couch, a soft blanket, and was absolutely amazed when introduced to the dog bed. He is an attention seeker, and wants to be wherever the people are. While he takes a little bit of time to settle down (after sniffing the whole house with that hound nose of his), he generally is content to lay and watch TV or chew a toy. He has lived with both male and female dogs, and is happy to play or just lay around. He has had limited interaction with cats, but when he encounters them in his foster home he just stares at them and whines. He is doing well with going potty outside, but does occasionally struggle with marking (we're hoping getting him neutered will help with that!) and wears a belly band for now. He will go in the crate both during the day while his foster mom is at work, and overnight. He is fine in the crate during the day, but occasionally will whine at night if he hears movement around the house. He is learning how to walk on a leash, and is very excited anytime he is outside. Forrest has not been exposed to kids since moving to Buffalo, but is generally very gentle and listens well when told no etc. Forrest would greatly benefit from a home that will allow him space to roam, both in and outdoors.
