Pony came to us as a stray. To give him a break from the stressful life in a shelter, and to how he does in a home, Pony went home with one of our amazing dog fosters for a bit. Here is what they had to say about him:
Pony is such a sweet, happy boy and always has his tail wagging! In the home he is so calm and well mannered, and just wants to be where I am. He waits patiently for his food, and lays at my feet while I am eating without begging. He is housebroken. He was fearful of the crate at first, but now goes in with ease (and treats!??), where he sleeps at night. He loves to snuggle and was a bit fearful of getting on the couch at first, but he overcame that and happily jumps up for the full cuddle experience. He loves to spend time with me and lie at my feet when I am sitting on the patio or at my desk or when I am working in the kitchen. He walks nicely on the leash. He is a bit aloof with meeting strangers outside the home but did well with strangers coming in the home to take him out during the day. He loves walks at the Greenspring Interpretive Trail and York River State Park. I have taken him to outdoor establishments to eat and he sits calmly next to me without reacting to people or other dogs. He is smart and very treat motivated and has learned "sit" and is learning "wait". He loves playing fetch and does the cutest bounces while running after his toys. He is super adorable when he carries his toy across the street from the dog park to the house. He is the perfect mate for someone looking for their best friend and faithful companion.
