10/26/25 Volunteer Feedback:
Falcor had a fantastic day out with the Enrichment team today! Although he was a little nervous in the car at first, some tasty treats helped him relax. They explored MB Park, where he initially seemed unsure but soon perked up, sniffing around and enjoying the walk after a relaxing tailgate break to decompress. The handler did a great job responding to his anxious cues! Later, they visited the pond by Horizon Middle School, and Falcor practiced his listening skills, earning cheese rewards for good behavior around other people and dogs. Falcor finished the day with some sniffing in the yard, and a nice nap in the car on the way back. Falcor was snuggly and played with toys in the living room. A bit of excited barking at dogs and people was the only complaint, and he was easily redirected. Falcor is deaf, but did a great job responding when his hip was tapped by a finger. Overall, Falcor was a very good boy and seemed much more comfortable by the end of the day!

8/21/25 Foster Feedback: Falcor is attending his last class of 6 sessions tonight. Training has been going well. I believe he'll be enrolled in another session. He was approved for a vibrating collar that will assist with training. Overall, he is thriving, playing well, and getting used to his kennel. Falcor can be a bit jealous of my time with our resident dog and other foster, but we redirect him. He does have some resource guarding towards food, so we feed the dogs separately, and make sure all of them have a bone/toy or treat each. He can be a bit mouthy, I think; mainly, it's his way of getting our attention. It is getting less and less of an issue since training. Falcor has done well with children at events, but probably best with mindful children. He is a medium-sized ball of energy. Falcor loves to race, chase, and wrestle with our resident dog. He'll sniff every inch of our yard, lie out in the grass with the wind in his fur and the sun on his face. Every morning, I'm greeted with a happy face ready for the day. His eyes will surely hypnotize you into falling for him.

7/24/25 Foster Feedback: Falcor may not be able to hear, but he's all smiles, and his gorgeous eyes are sure to melt your heart. He starts his day off with scritches on his face, ears, and a hug. He loves affection, pets, kisses, cuddles, and has the softest fur. Falcor is on week two of a six-week training class and doing amazing. We are working on sit, stay, mat, greeting friends with all 4 paws on the floor, and leave it. We practice daily to keep him fresh while learning these new skills. We are kennel training Falcor for 5-6 hrs during the day. He doesn't love it but settles down in 10-15 minutes. Falcor startles easily, so we approach his kennel softly when letting him out. He does sleep in his kennel overnight. Falcor has tons of energy and likes to play tug and Frisbee. He plays well with our 10-month-old puppy and our other foster pup. He will need slow introductions with other dogs. Overall, he is one happy dude looking for his special family.
