Hello, my name is Zach!
...and I'm special. I'm a Perfect Puppy. I am 4 months old and, like the typical puppy, I am totally cute and cuddly. But it takes more than cute and cuddly to be a Perfect Puppy. Even at my young age, I am so well behaved. I'm not much of a chewer and I know almost instinctively what I can chew and what is off limits. I am very bright and very willing to learn. In fact, I've already begun to learn the most important puppy command there is, "NO". (Boring!) I have an easy going personality and I'm typically, Happy, Happy, Happy. And even though I like to play hard and then rest hard, I am not overly active.
Because I am such a Perfect Puppy, I am generally left to wander the house. I sleep through the night, which is a big plus with a puppy. I do have one small problem, and it's a little embarrassing, so I'm going to whisper... My bladder is small and I don't quite grasp the concept of waiting until I'm outside...sh-h-h-h-h... However, as you would expect of a Perfect Puppy, I am making good progress in this area. I am beginning to ask to go outside when I need to relieve myself - and I usually do my business. Sometimes I can't help myself though, and I use this as a ploy to get outside to play.....<sigh>. After all, you didn't think I was that perfect, did you?
As a Perfect Puppy, I will be a "snap" to train. I have a strong desire to please. My ultimate goal is to be your constant companion. When I walk with my people, I like to focus on them and do just exactly as they want, so I will be continually looking back to you for direction.
I love other dogs and cats but sometimes they aren't so crazy about me because I like to play a little more than they do, but I'm never aggressive and I'd never hurt them. I know I'll be crazy about kids because they like to play too, but as a young puppy, I will need to be supervised. And, I love, love, love to swim. I learned it in a flash. If you have a pool, that would be a plus! My cutest trick is to swim into the arms of my foster mom and let her hold me while I snuggle. Isn't that cute? Perfect Puppies have a high cute factor, you know!
Right now I have a great foster family but I would really like to grow up with my forever family. Because I am such an easy-going puppy, the perfect forever family for me is really anyone who will be able to give me the time that I deserve to go from being a Perfect Puppy to a Perfect Dog. If you are reading this, maybe you are my Perfect Family. I hope so.
