Hi! My name is Squirrel, and I am so ready to meet my fur-ever family!

My big foster fur sister and I can play for hours, and every second of it is so much fun! Everything that she does, I do. She is such a good teacher and friend, and we get along so well. She has taught me a lot of manners. Like, I remember when I first came home, I used to jump on people, but now I don’t do that much anymore. One thing she hasn’t taught me to do is bark, and I think my foster mom loves that. My big fur sister barks a lot to protect me, so I guess I don’t see a reason to bark. Although I love my goofy big dog sister, I am looking forward to spending my life with you.

I love, love, love my toys. All kinds of toys really. I will fetch and play and chew on any toy you have all day long. I even have cloth squeaky toys and I am very gentle with those, but I prefer harder rubber toys. Anything that bounces that I can chase after really catches my attention. Did I mention I love toys?! Just make sure you put away anything that you don’t want chewed on, because I think everything in the house is a toy, and I don’t want to tear up anything that doesn’t belong to me.

Did you say walk? Yes, please. I love my walk time because I have quite a bit of energy that I need to get out. I call this energy love, and that is why I have so much of it. Now, I could use some leash training if you know how to teach me. I just think I get so excited about everything outside that I cannot slow down and I want to pull my foster mom everywhere and show her all the really cool things outside. I am very interested in cats, birds, and squirrels (I think that is where I got my name from) so make sure you hold tight to my leash!

I am house-trained and I love my dog door, so if you have a dog door, that is a big plus! I love going out and laying in the sun whenever I want, or swimming in the little pool I have in the yard. I feel so comfortable in my kennel. That is my place to relax and escape. My foster sister does not like my kennel, so I get it all to myself. I don’t need to sleep in your bed at night unless, of course, you let me. However, just be warned, if you let me sleep in your bed, I won’t stop cuddling! I love to cuddle! I will cuddle into every tiny space there is. I am so sweet and love to burrow my head under blankets, pillows, legs, really anywhere. So, you have been warned!

As I said earlier, I don’t bark, but I do whine (at least that is what my mom calls it) a little bit when I want something. I don’t look at it as whining, but more like trying to talk to her – usually I am trying to ask her to move faster. Sometimes my foster mom doesn’t move fast enough getting ready for our walk, and I get a little impatient, but it isn’t too bad. I just get too excited about everything and can’t wait!

Also, I can jump really high. Like so high that I can get over a really tall fence, so please be sure to keep an eye on me. I think they call me an escape artist, but I call it more my athletic ability, and I want to see everything there is on the wooded greenbelt behind my house.

I need my belly rubs and my ears petted. Really, all the attention you have for me I will take. I will look into your eyes with my big brown eyes and literally melt your heart. I even smile from time to time. That is my way of telling you how much I love you and how happy you make me.

I have never been around kids, so I am not sure how to play with them, but I am sure I would do great since I am such a good boy. Really, anything you ask or tell me to do I will do. I am a quick learner and love to please! I even learned to catch treats in my mouth on the first day in my new home.

I just know you will love me, and I will love you.
