Here's what you need to know about Ronald. First thing every morning when his foster mom wakes up, he goes to her and sits in her lap, puts his head on her shoulder, and nuzzles and cuddles like a hug! He is so affectionate and loves his humans. He plays well with the younger beagle in the foster home, but he knows the older beagle is not interested and he respects that. Ronald shows almost no interest in the cat. He’s coming along very well with housetraining but not perfect yet. His foster mom says he has learned other skills very quickly so she is optimistic! At night Ronald sleeps in his doggie bed or his crate in foster mom's room. He LOVES toys and carries them around with him most of the time. Sometimes he tries to carry 2 at a time. He plays nicely outside by himself, especially if there are toys! When foster mom leaves for work, he barks and has some anxiety if he sees her leave, so she gives him a frozen dog treat or toy to distract him for a little bit while she goes out the door. If he doesn’t see her leave, he transitions much better to being alone. During the time she is gone, he stays in a room with a baby gate with beds, food, water, toys and the other dogs with no problem. Ronald does still need some work on leash. Ronald is a moderately high energy dog--he wants to run and play but is also able sit with the family to watch TV and relax. He is heartworm positive but he will be treated soon.
