Dogs: per oss, Has lived successfully with other dogs, Plays well with all or most dogs, May be overwhelming to small dogs.
Cats: per oss, Lived successfully with cats
Children: per oss, Has met children but has not lived with them. Would do best with older, dog savvy children due to his size and play style.
Other: Has received daily session for impulse control - doing jolly settles, pass the puppy, and flirt pole. jelly LOVES fetch and does well toy trading and sitting in between tosses. he knows sit, touch, and is now becoming fluent in down. he has struggled to find dog friends because of his size but overall he is doing okay

Children: ok for kids. Met 4 children ages 2-8 and did great.

Gump is a sweet, but anxious, pup that would love to be in a home while he is up for adoption.
Children: Interacts well with children, but has not lived with children.
Dogs: M&G Required. Plays well with all or most dogs. Must be 40+ lbs
Cats: No Cats or small animals
Other: Potty Trained. Great on a leash and loves walks. Can be crated but would suggest for short periods AFTER he has started to acclimate to the home.
Gump is uncomfortable being left alone for prolonged periods of time. His ideal will be with people who are home frequently or are okay trouble shooting how to manage his anxiety through Gump proofing a room, hiring a dog sitter, etc to help him acclimate.

Dogs: M&G Required. Did well coexisting with dog in previous foster home.
Cats: Okay to try cats. Has not been around them.
Kids: Has been around kids 2 - 9 years old. Does well other than knocking them over at times. Previous foster mom described her as very calm though.
Other: She would do well with a fenced in yard. Did well crated per previous foster. Potty trained per foster mom. Does great on leash per foster mom.

Below are a few pictures of dogs on their shelter breaks. All of these animals were very stressed, or otherwise not doing well, in the shelter environment. After just a quick break, you can see how much more relaxed and happy they are.
