Evo has been ADOPTED!

Our lucky little boy found a wonderful home with a great dad and dog sister.  Evo, now Britten, is in heaven with his new home and family.  We miss little boy but we are so happy for him.  Thank you, Britten's dad, for giving him a new start to life and a wonderful place to call his own.

Available for adoption - Evo and kids

We have a busy house with little ones.  My kids decided to build a fort and invited Evo in.  He obliged and was content to hang out amongst the loud giggles.  When he had enough he was happy to curl up in his bed while the kids continued to play.  

I watch my daughter closely with our fosters as we never know what we are going to get.  She loves dogs and is always seeking them out to pet or provide a treat.  We tend to get puppies so she squeals with delight when they gently use their puppy mouth to play with her.  She got a good dose of puppy mouthiness from our last foster Goya.  You can see how incredibly gentle Evo is with her.  This puppy mouthing is very new and I think it is because he is getting comfortable in our home and around us.  I don't think he has a mean bone in his little body.  I love how he casually walks down the stairs, not in a hurry, just moving on...

Available for adoption: Evo hanging out on the deck

Now that the weather is nicer, Evo can join us on our deck.  He is happy to just wander around looking like a handsome little boy.

Available for adoption: Evo at the park

We stopped at the park yesterday at the last minute because it was so nice.  Although Evo doesn't have his wonder walker on, which is what he normally wears on a walk, he still did well on the leash.

I wanted to test him with other dogs and he was wonderful.  He has great dog skills.  He did bark a few times at a huge black lab but he was ready to play with these two little dogs.  

I don't think Evo had ever been on a leash.  He has come a long ways in walking on a leash from when we got him 4 weeks ago.  He will occasionally sit and "put on the breaks" if he is scared or unsure.  As you can see my son is walking him with no problem.  

Good job Evo!

Available for adoption: Evo - Garden helper

As I've said many times, Evo is such a mellow boy given he is a 10-12 mo old.  Watch the video and you'll see this is his normal behavior.  He quietly wanders around and doesn't bug anyone, he just likes to be near his people.  Our garden is fenced in so it is a  perfect place to hang out and wander around freely.  We spent the day planting seeds in our garden beds and he loved the freedom to sniff and explore.  He is a delight to have around and super with my kids.

Available for adoption: Evo - AKA: little boy

My daughter is 2 and she LOVES dogs.  However, she gets confused on the names of all the fosters we have had.  She always called Kai, Zoi.  She called Goya, Kai.  And she kept calling Evo, Goya.  She has given up and now just calls Evo, little boy.  I love it becuase her cute little voice says "com'on little boy... you shy little boy.  Funny, now I even call him little boy. 

With out a doubt this little guy is a gem.  He is super sweet with all kids, loves other dogs, especially, Lacey (my mom's dog - former NR alum).   Little boy is getting more comfortable on the leash and is progressing well with potty training.  Maybe he can be your little boy?  :)  

Waiting for treats...

 Little boy has an under bite...

 He is so gentle with his mouth, he takes treats so softly from her.

 Hanging out with his friend, Lacey.

Ready for a walk?

Available for adoption: Evo - so tired

This little boy is so sweet.  For being a young puppy (10-12 mo old) he sure is mellow.  He doesn't do the puppy mouthing, doesn't chew on anything except his bones and really just wants to be around other dogs and people.  He had a busy day playing with my kids and is exhausted....
