Dislikes: None yet!

Temperament: No issues observed.

Good with cats, dogs, and kids (over 6)?:  Yes!

Not good with: (Cats? Dogs? Strangers? Men? Kids?) Dave seems to be good with animals and humans alike.

Requires a fenced yard (physical fence and/or invisible fence)?  Yes - physical fence.

Walks well on a leash? Working on it! He will need to continue to learn this skill in his forever home.

Challenges: Please note: Doodles mat easily and will develop sores if they are not groomed every 6 weeks. Dave is HIGH MAINTENANCE!

Any Medical issues? Dave’s heart condition required surgery at the end of May 2022, but he is expected to make a full recovery! The cardiologist said he will need to be seen 3-4 months post-op, and then he will need to see a cardiologist every year for his whole life. He has a device in his heart that needs to be monitored and he might have to be on a heart medication for the foreseeable future.

What would be the best kind of home? An active home with a fenced yard and patience (since he’s still a puppy). Dave loves his people & other dogs! He is super sweet & snuggly. Eats well & can self-entertain. 

DAVE IS BEING FOSTERED IN COLUMBUS, OH.
