Van Gogh found himself unwanted, and in a high kill shelter in West Texas. He loves to be near his people and cuddle. He is very treat motivated, knows sit, come, laydown and plays fetch. He is potty and in the past has used a crate but doesn'tcurrently. He walks well on a leash and travels like a dream in the vehicle. Any squeaky toys or squeaky balls are a few favorites to play with, along with a good bone of course. He is a very playful boy and enjoys the outdoors. The MN snow doesn't deter him from going outside, he likes to rut around in the snow.
He is great with other dogs (once he has had a proper intro with them) and teenagers (not sure about young ones, but was around toddlers a year ago with inital foster). He is sweet and cuddly. Loves all treats and a tennis ball is never far from his mouth. He does have slight aggression towards others when first meeting, so needs some time to warm up. Throw treats or a ball and he'll be their best friend. Needs a loving home who can keep working with him to be the best dog he can be. He has a big voice for his size and isn't afraid to use it to back people or dogs off. A structered home will be one he will thrive in.
