I am a 1.5-year-old, 80 lb. boy who used to be an outdoor dog. My owners are moving, and something called COVID means no dogs allowed on overseas flights. I’m so lucky I now have the best foster family that includes humans, six other Pyrs and even chickens and bunnies. I learn fast and have had NO accidents in the house since day one. I love my new indoor life! I can be a bit shy at times and don’t always enjoy taking medicine but my foster mom is teaching me to be patient and says I’m so smart! I am coming out of my shell more and more every day. I now play with my foster brother, a Pyr mix, and we have so much fun! I am great with all of the dogs in my foster home and I’ve met a couple of other dogs that came to visit as well. I think I would do best in a house with another young, big dog. I am great with my foster mom’s cats and kittens as well. I watch the chickens in the backyard and I’m fine with the bunnies too. I’ve never met young kids, but I LOVE teenagers. I have to tell you a secret I am super picky about food but I love human food. I used to be free fed but now I’m learning to eat twice a day with my pack. I’m learning so much in my new temporary home! I’ve even gotten used to being brushed! I walk very well on a leash and ride great in the car. I believe I will make a great companion for someone, I really want a new loving fur-ever home.

Obviously, my name is familiar but keep reading and I bet you recognize part of my story, too. Let’s start with the easy stuff: I’m 1.5-years-old, weigh 85 lbs. and am friendly just like the cartoon Simba. I didn’t run away from home, though; my parents are moving overseas, and I’m not allowed on the plane. Right, same as Hotaru. Which means I’m also an outside dog who wasn’t house or crate trained. On the plus side, I love being pet and get along well with other dogs. My humans say food and attention are my top priorities. They also say I’m clingy and am very easy-going, which is silly because I don’t go anywhere, other than on leash walks.  I know the words “calm down” mean don’t play so hard. Which is OK, cuddling is just as much fun. Unfortunately, those two words don’t help when the thunder starts. But hey, this is kinda cool, I can open certain types of doorknobs with mouth and paws!
