Artemis

This gorgeous hunky guy has come a long way in puppy bootcamp at his foster mom’s home.  Admittedly, he has stolen her heart 💜

Artemis is a little love bug. He would like nothing more than to be your BFF, by your side all day long, doing household chores, running errands, hikes, poolside, wherever and whenever.  He especially loves Home Depot and Leslie’s Pool Supply.  Artie greets everyone with a smile and a body full of happiness.

He’s sensitive boy with a big heart and is looking to be your one and only.  Artemis gets along well with other dogs, but he would be perfectly fine as an only child.  If there is another dog in the house, they would need to be approximately the same size and age because he can play a little rough at times.  He’s completely house broken and will poop on a potty pad if he couldn’t get your attention.  His leash skills have improved tremendously and he’s good on walks through the neighborhood.  When we go to a store, I attach him to me to make sure he knows I’m his person and that he needs to always look to me for commands.  He does get a little scared from time to time so if you can let him know that you’re the Alpha and you’ve got his best interests in mind, he will respond to you beautifully.

Artie’s love language includes:

Nibbles – He likes when you nibble his cheeks, ears and paws.  He will nibble you back😊

Belly Rubs – ALL the time, but especially before bedtime.  After the last walk of the night (around 8pm) this is when he turns into a bebe and requires sweet nothings.

Treats – Will do and respond to everything when you have treats in hand.  Extremely treat motivated.

Pup Cups – Yes, Yes, Yes !!!!

Outdoorsy – LOVES, LOVES, LOVES being outdoors.  He’s inquisitive and basically entertains himself chasing lizards, eating bugs, checking and rechecking the perimeter

for anyone and anything that shouldn’t be intruding.

Slow Feeder – He loves puzzles and he currently eats from the most difficult slow feeder.

Toys – YES to everything that is a challenge and chewable.  This guy loves toys!

Artie currently sleeps in a crate, but he adapts quickly to sleeping with his BFF, if that’s what you want.  He’s a funny little guy and sometimes puts himself to bed when he’s had enough for the day. He’s also a great listener and will show his attentiveness by cocking his head from side-to-side letting you know that he’s hanging onto every word you’re saying.  Simply delightful to watch😊

I can’t say enough good things about Artemis.  He’s a little baby on one hand, but a rugged little dude on the other.  If you are tired of being alone, bored, and love dogs, Artemis would gladly be your forever loyal companion.  He’s got it all and he’s ready to be fine-tuned to your life specifications.
