What My Foster Says About Me: If you are looking for a dog who is the perfect combination of fun, active and mellow, then Thatcher is for you! He's loving, super soft, and filled with energy, cuddles and joy!

This cute and silky boy would be the perfect sidekick for someone who enjoys being active, but who also loves snoozing on the couch after a long day. He likes to be in the mix wherever his humans are -- in or out of the house. One of his favorite activities is playing fetch. His retrieving genes are strong!

In the house, he likes to be next to us, keeping us company by bringing us his toys or snuggling with us - or even on us! -- as we watch TV. He often naps next to us as we work at our desks. And Thatcher is very food motivated, so he can learn just about anything in no time. He knows how to sit and lie down, but in just one short session, he learned to give his paw to shake and also to spin around.

Thatcher is a quick learner because he LOVES food. He sometimes curls up our feet while we're cooking, just in case we drop anything. He also has learned where we keep his treats in the kitchen and often sits right next to that cabinet, waiting patiently for us to give him another biscuit. We are pretty sure he has the best hearing and sense of smell of any dog in history.

He gently takes treats and is very good with our young teenager who likes to wrestle with him. He is good on the leash and enjoys meeting other dogs.

Day or night, he is comfortable in his crate. He also does a great job of letting you know that he has to go outside. We have bells hanging from our front doorknob and he nudges them with his nose if he wants to go outside. He also seems to really like car rides and will leap like a gazelle into the back seat.

Above all, Thatcher is super loving and loyal! He would be an amazing addition to any family. And, of course, he is eager to have a family who will love him and care for him forever.

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
