*** Location: Martinsburg PA *** Hi, my name is Thumper. I am just turning two years old and am a very good boy. At times I run around like a puppy, but I have learned my manners and am not destructive. At other times I just like to lay around and cuddle next to you. As a young puppy I was turned into a shelter. I was very afraid and scared. I was in the shelter for quite some time before I came into rescue. Because of my background, I need someone who can show me the world and be firm with me and give me confidence. An experienced dog owner would be best. I am very trusting in my owner so it' important that they know what they are doing and never let me down. I am friendly with my owners, other friendly dogs and cats. I am also very friendly out in public. I even got a chance to meet a goat and a horse and liked them. However I do not like strangers coming into my home. I will growl and bark and them, and can get nippy. Because of this, I need to be put into a separate room, or a crate (which I like) when guests come. My foster dad says that I can be trained out of this behavior with time. If I am in my crate and see a new person on a regular basis for a few days, then I will be ok around them. I really love to cuddle and be pet. If you are sitting down, I will snuggle up next to you. My foster's daughter calls me Mr. Happyface because I am almost always smiling and happy to see her. And of course I am great out in public. If you're interested in me and would like more information, please contact Jim Park: jpark@canarylabs.com.
