Who needs more chaos in their life? If that’s what you are looking for in a puppy- Ike is not the man for you! Ike has made the trip to South Dakota for a chance of a better life.  Out of three puppies to a malnourished momma dog chained up outside with little food or water he is one of two to survive. Then the poor dude lived through a hurricane! Bravest pup ever. 

 

Like Hurricane Ike, this young man is learning his heart is the size of Texas. Ike came to his foster family knowing next to nothing, but is  learning his basic commands of Sit and Look, how to wear his gentle leader, how to settle down, and the importance of wait. Ike has learned to get over his frustrations and is now living his best relaxed life.  He is a social boy who has enjoyed evenings to a local brewery and handles a busy event night light a pro. Can you believe he’s still a puppy?!

 

Ike loves to lay on his dog bed and enjoy a good chew session, especially while we had the warm autumn sun available. While Ike can be a busy boy he also enjoys quiet cuddle times with his family, both two and four legged alike. 

 

Ike is working on his kennel skills, when to potty outside, and how to enjoy how to be a loved member of the family.  Ike does still have accidents, but week by week he has learned we don’t have to live in our own mess anymore.  A family that is able to accommodate more frequent bathroom breaks and provide a consistent schedule will be helpful!

 

Ike currently lives with two adult pittie foster siblings, a human sibling, and his sister Zeta. Ike is still very much a puppy and will require a family that is dedicated to helping him learn to handle his impulses and set clear boundaries to teach his manners to match his charming good looks.

 

What do you say? Are you ready for this calm after the storm boy?
