Costco is a sweet pup whose love language is physical affection. He especially loves it when you scratch his belly and behind his ears. He loves to join you on outdoor runs, play tug of war, and chase ice cubes on the floor. If you work from home, he may nap in your office to be close to you but he won't bug you for attention all day and will stay quiet. Costco loves car rides and exploring new environments. He's great on long road trips!

Costco loves chew toys, especially flavored bones, and stuffed squirrels. He also loves playing with older kids. He's lived with a 6-year-old and 9-year-old in the past and he loved it when they had friends over so he can play with them, too. It would be best to give him time with new people, but once he has warmed up to you, he is the happiest boy!

Costco knows simple commands like sit, stay, and place. He waits in his place for you to say "break!" before chowing down on dinner. If you command him to sit before opening the door, he will wait for you to say "break!" before walking through. He's even been known to patiently wait in his place when someone comes to the door.

This quiet, adventurous sweetheart is sure to bring lots of love to your home. Come meet this lovable guy today!

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
