Alex

Hi there! I am in Calgary and ready to find my forever family! I'm about 35 pounds and am approximately 7 months old. I was found as a stray and look to have been hit by a car because my jaw is a little crooked and I have a bit of a limp. I am a very loving and affectionate with people. I absolutely love cuddles and to sit on my foster family while they watch TV. I do not beg for people food while my foster family eats and I barely ever bark. I am great with kids and sit patiently while they pet me. I am always very excited to meet new people. Other dogs scare me, especially the ones who are bigger then me, but my foster family is trying to help me get past this fear by introducing me to the dogs we meet on walks. I do not like cats and tend to growl at them, but never chase. I am doing well on my housetraining. I have a moderate energy level and love to bounce around, play and run but tire out fairly quickly. My damaged leg gets stiff sometimes, especially when I've just woken up. I don't really notice my missing teeth and they haven't caused any complications. The vet says my teeth are very weak so I can only have puppy food and no hard toys, they may need care in future years. I would love to go to a home with kids who have lots of time to spend with me. I do tend to cry if left alone, though do quite well in my crate well foster mom's at work. My foster family just adores me and would keep me if they could, but feel I deserve a family with more time for me. Do I sound like the dog you've been looking for? I sure hope so!
