About Cato
Male | Approx 1.5 yrs |31 lbs | Ridgeback mix
Cato is a very affectionate and lovable boy. Loves to cuddle up with you. He loves people, so we expect he would be ok with children, but because he’s a high energy pup, we suggest older children that are comfortable with dogs.
Initially can be nervous meeting new dogs, but has been good with the foster's dogs. Would do well with another playmate a similar size. Can also be the only dog as he loves human attention.
Loves his squeaky toys as well as stuffies! He does well, but occasionally needs to be redirected from things not meant to be chewed.
Cato is still very much a puppy that needs adopters that will concentrate on his training and possibly take him to obedience classes.
Housetraining took some time, but we can say now, thanks to the foster's commitment, he has been accident free!
An active person or family would be best for this guy!

Why We Love Fostering
-
Fostering is such a rewarding experience and works great for us as it is very flexible. We love seeing the difference in their personalities from day 1: from timid and nervous to a happy, healthy, better-socialized dog. It gives them time to decompress before going to their perfect home. Fostering enriches our lives knowing we are saving a life each time, and giving them a better life ahead. It warms the heart knowing you were part of this process.
Why We Love Fostering
-
The thought of cats and kittens missing out on a loving home is one big reason as to why I foster. I thoroughly enjoy watching homeless cats go from being afraid of their own shadow, to throwing themselves at you with all their pent up love. It is so hard to see the cats/kittens leave once they are ready, but knowing someone has adopted a once abandoned sweetheart is the best feeling ever.
