houston forsyth

Houston Forsyth is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home!    Houston is a big boy with an even bigger heart! He's is a loyal companion who loves to follow his person around and has wonderful training potential. He walks well on leash, sits for treats, and knows several basic commands including down. He is both crate trained and potty trained, and he can be trusted to roam the house when unattended (just be mindful — at counter height, he may try to swipe a tasty rotisserie chicken if left out!). He gets along beautifully with other dogs, both big and small. He enjoys hanging out with canine friends and prefers to chill rather than wrestle or roughhouse — you might even catch him exchanging sweet kisses with his dog buddies. He has also been introduced to cats on leash and pays them no mind. Houston loves to play in his own unique way — he doesn’t chew toys much, but he enjoys batting a ball around with his paws and chasing it, looking like a giant cat when he does! Despite his size, he thinks he’s a lap dog and will happily climb up for snuggles. He especially adores teenagers and forms strong bonds — he may even try to follow his favorite people if given the chance. Because of his size and athleticism, a secure 6-foot fence or supervised outdoor time is recommended. He loves walks and would make an excellent hiking partner, and he would thrive in a home with room to run. He would do well with another friendly dog companion, especially one who enjoys relaxed company.
