We enjoyed our weekend with Josh so much that we let him move in full time until he finds his forever home. Now that Josh has settled in and feels more at home, we are seeing his true personality and loving it! Josh is very sweet, he loves to cuddle and be petted. Every night, he cuddles up with me and just enjoys being loved. He is completely adjusted to his crate and doesn't whine or bark at all when left alone. He is crated while I am at work during the day and at night while we sleep and walks right into it without a fight.
Josh is very playful and does great with other dogs. I think he will do best in a home with other dogs so he has playmates. He loves to run around in our yard and jog in the Duke Forest. He has excellent recall and comes right to you when you call for him - he's very eager to please us! See you Sunday at Petsmart!

Josh's Big Weekend!
Josh spent this past weekend at my house and we had a blast! From day one, he acted like part of the family. When playing in the yard, he stuck right by us, never wandering off, loving fetch and chasing us around. We thoroughly enjoyed watching him do backflips in the grass - he's a character!
He played great with my border collie and got along perfectly with every other dog we met, never aggressive or dominant. He had just the right amount of energy and knew when it was time to relax. He was also pretty quiet for a hound, we barely heard a peep out of him all weekend. While I studied, he laid by the door or on the dog bed, never once trying to jump on the furniture.
On Saturday, we ran just over 3 miles together and he led the way the whole time. He rode well in the car and walked/ran nicely on his leash. He got used to his crate right away and slept through the night with no accidents both nights. While at home, he'd relax in his crate when we weren't playing and come out occasionally to be petted!
He also was sweet with kids, and gave lots of kisses at the Petsmart adoption event on Sunday. Josh will be a great family pet. He would do very well in a house with another dog for him to play with. He's very playful but also knows when enough is enough. He knows how to sit, comes when called, and knows what crate means. We truly enjoyed our weekend with Josh, our dog will miss him very much!
