HI, my name is Beta (aka Bear or Buddy). I like going for walks, my foster mom says I’m really good on a leash but I can get distracted by woodland creatures and other humans so she’s trying to help me with that. Even though I’m not a puppy, I do like to play sometimes. My favorite is a bouncy ball or when my fosters throw a toy in the air, I love to jump up and grab it. My fosters work from home so I have someone with me all day. I never have accidents in the house, I’m taken outside about every 4 hours for a walk (we don’t have a fenced yard). I like to sleep in bed with my foster mom, and have the run of the house when they’re out. I do not chew on anything that isn’t mine, I don’t eat out of the garbage or tables/counters. I know basic commands like sit, shake and lay down.

So my foster mom says I’m really chill most of the time, there are times where I get a bit riled up. I get really anxious around strangers, I’m not sure what to do so I bark because I’m a big dog with a big bark. I’m better with slow introductions to new people. Its actually best if you just ignore me at first, then I will come to you when I’m ready. I also get a bit riled up when I see people outside. I’m just trying to protect my foster family from strangers, but they are working with me on my barking and jumping/scratching on the windows. I do better with positive reinforcement (my favorites are ‘good boy treats’ when I do good with something we’ve been working on). I like that better than yelling, that scares me. Even though it may take me a bit longer to get comfortable in a new house, once I’m comfortable I’ll be your best friend! I love to cuddle and binge watch TV with my fosters.
