*DARIUS

From his foster family:Darius is a big couch potato. He loves to nap and relax all day long. He's gained confidence in going outdoors, able to take elevators and stairs with ease. He enjoys little walks outside, and has excellent manners on a leash and at home. He does not need to be crated when I leave home, just enjoys his bones and stuffed toys when left alone. He likes all sorts of food and is very gentle with everything. He gets along great with my cat, and likes to sit with her on the couch and bed too. His calm demeanor doesn't intimidate cats. He's shy, but warms up to anyone within a few days. I would definitely still consider him very skittish/shy, he doesn't want to be touched by any stranger and prefers to walk on the other side of the street from any other dogs that are outside. He never barks at any dog or person, but he's much more comfortable going on walks with people he knows well.We've also had a bath and that went pretty well considering how nervous he is with new things. He enjoys being brushed and I can trim a few of his nails at one time without any restraint necessary. The vacuum makes him uncomfortable, but he'll just move to the other side of the room. Car noise and ambulances don't seem to bother him anymore and he will get close to a car (still won't jump in) with a little bribing.
