Forrest is a tiny, cute boy who has become a very social butterfly. He loves getting petting and cuddles from his fosters, and, although cautious, he can like meeting new people. He loves being in the mix of a family and enjoys playing with toys and other dogs, his tail wagging all day long.

This means that Forrest's concept of the world has improved in leaps and bounds since coming to foster. He came from dog hoarding where he apparently had never been with kind, friendly people. As a result, he was very scared of people, but now he's learned they can be affectionate, kind, protective, and safe.

Now in foster, Forrest is a smart little boy who's very easy to take care of. He's still a little uncertain about new people, so it may take him a week or two to feel completely safe with them but is curious and will go up to patient ones for petting. He's met many 5th-7th grade kids and likes their petting. He also adores his fosters' two dogs and is gently curious about other pups.

He has found comfort in his crate, often choosing to relax there, though he is allowed to freely roam the house when he's home alone. He is mostly house-trained and steadily improving.

Forrest continues to gain confidence and has so much potential to be a loving companion for a lucky person willing to put in the time. His ideal home will be with a patient parent who can respect his boundaries and continue helping him socialize and learn about the safety of his humans. Do you have room in your heart and home for little Forrest? Come meet this adorable boy!
