Dog Selective

6/30/26 Volunteer Feedback: Bread is dog selective and can be reactive to other dogs while on leash. He is most successful with patient, gradual introductions and careful management. In his foster home, he has made significant progress and was eventually able to coexist on occasion with his foster's resident dog after a slow, structured introduction process that included muzzle training to ensure everyone's safety and comfort.

Bread has also experienced kennel-related anxiety. In a previous foster home, his kennel anxiety became significant enough that behavioral medication was recommended to help him cope. Since moving to his current foster home, he has been making progress with kennel training and continues to build positive associations with the crate at his own pace.

Bread will thrive with an adopter who is committed to continuing his training, understands canine behavior, and is willing to provide the patience and structure he needs to succeed.

6/19/26 Foster Feedback: Bread has been the perfect house guest the last couple of months he's been at my house.. He is the perfect companion for both active and laid back lifestyles.

He's always happy to join you for a walk, but he's just as content spending the day curled up beside you on the couch. Bread does well whether he's kenneled or left out while you're away, though he would definitely choose to roam the house if given the option.

One of Bread's favorite things is being with his people. He gets excited to greet me as soon as I come home and quickly settles back into his role as a loyal shadow.

Bread is fully potty trained and hasn't had a single accident during the entirety of the time I've fostered him. He's so sweet, easy going, and a low maintenance dog who simply wants to be loved and included. If you're looking for a loyal best friend who will stick by your side and provide endless cuddles, Bread would be a perfect dog for you.



1/16/26 Foster Feedback: Bread is one of those dogs who just melts into your heart. He's incredibly sweet, loves to cuddle, and seems happiest simply being near his people. He has the cutest little bursts of playful energy, then happily settles in for naps and snuggles.

During his weekend stay with me, Bread adjusted quickly and made himself right at home. He did wonderfully with my senior resident dog-he greeted her politely, handled her corrections with grace when he got too close, and after some mutual sniffing, they comfortably went about their day. He showed great social awareness and an easygoing nature that makes him a joy to have around.



1/4/26 Foster Feedback: Bread is a fantastic dog with a real zest for life. He truly loves everyone. He will worship the ground you walk on and will be the best family dog!

He's ready for his fur-ever home! Bread knows many commands-sit, stay, down, bed, spin, shake, and working on more. He's an eager-to-please kind of dog.
If you wanna snuggle, he'll be your 'loaf' on the couch. He loves tug-of-war! He just wants to be wherever the action is and more than ready for any kind adventure.


11/2/25 Foster Feedback: Bread has been having a blast playing and training with our homemade flirt pole. He's quick, focused, and impressively responsive-especially when asked to stop on command. It's been a joy watching Bread engage with the toy and show off his listening skills.

Recently, Bread had the chance to spend some quality time with another 4 Luv foster family. During his visit, he was lovingly spoiled with cozy couch snuggles and bedtime cuddles. Bread was clearly happy to be with them, and just as happy to come home again, tail wagging and full of love.

We've also been working on introductions with our family dog. 4 Luv of Dog Rescue's behavior team has been a tremendous help in guiding the process. Bread has done an excellent job tolerating the muzzle and has made great strides with the introductions.

9/22/25 Foster Feedback: Bread has been working on 'stay' command and playing 'hide and seek' during these rainy days. He is getting to know 'kennel' command before I leave the house. Beef jerky is a new favorite food for him. Bread is super loyal and follows me very closely.

8/24/25 Volunteer Feedback: Bread is a bundle of energy and joy! On rainy days, we play hide-and-seek, and he's been making great progress with his "stay" command. Invite him onto your lap and he'll happily settle in for snuggles. He loves training time, enjoys his walks, and never says no to a car ride. But his absolute favorite word? "Outside." I only wish I could share videos of his hilarious antics when he knows it's time to go.

6/10/25 Volunteer Feedback:​ Oh this honey! Bread is a "people" dog and will have a smile on his face as long as you are around. He is playful but gentle and really seems to understand. He is reportedly a very high jumper but I've only seen him happily chase after toys and walk great on his leash. Bread also does a fabulous job snuggling
