Hi ya everyone, I'm Spiderman! I'm a 5 year old, healthy 50lb male English bulldog that was experiencing stress being in a shelter environment. Chicago English Bulldog Rescue stepped in and got me right out of there. Now I'm in an amazing foster home getting used to my new space and their routine. Now that I'm out of that shelter and into this nice foster home my personality is starting to shine. My foster parents say that I have some great manners already! I know sit, I know stay, and I know come....I'm kind of a know-it-all I guess! I also am crate trained, can do stairs and I'm house trained. I am also okay with the resident cat and have even napped with her a few times. I’ve lived with dogs in the past, but I think I’d prefer to not have other dogs in my forever home.
When it's time for a car ride or a walk, I jump around impatiently waiting for my foster parents-I just get so excited for an adventure I can't help it. During play time with my toys I love to play a game of chase and tug of war with my foster humans. Sometimes these people that I'm staying with play hide and seek with me, but I always wind up finding them! My foster parents are also teaching me, "find it". I'm still learning it but I have to search for treats or my favorite toys.
When I'm not on an adventure I love to snuggle up to my foster humans to hang out with them on the couch. I love to chew my bones and my new antler with my humans on the couch or in my soft bed. Sometimes when I want to snuggle or I want attention from my foster parents I will walk on them or lay on top of them. They say I shouldn't do this but I tell them I'm just showing trust and seeking lovies. At times when I want attention or you stop petting me I can get mouthy, but my foster parents are working on this with me by disengaging and redirecting. In addition, they make sure I get regular exercise and play fun games - hence hide and seek and "find it". I'm not a fan of getting my wrinkles cleaned but my foster parents give my lots of praise and treats when I do allow it. My perfect forever home would be one with no kids around. Since I have the potential to get mouthy from time to time adults would be best. What can I say, I'm a work in progress but aren't we all? I know I'm not perfect but my Spidey senses tell me there is someone out there for me.
