AR/Slim Jim's story

　　Slim Jim here, have you ever seen one adorable Brittany like me?! Of course not, I am one of a kind. I am 7 mths old, orange/white, neutered, healthy 29 lbs of pure male Brittany. UTD on all vaccines, HW neg and on prevention.

　　I love my hoomans and I have lots of loving and cuddles to share. Let me tell you what I would love to have with my new family. Lots of sweet loving, kisses, snuggles on the couch with you and watch tv or tell me stories. Teach me tricks, but give me cookies when I do good, maybe drop one by accident that I can help pickup for you. I am a little clown and my foster folks say I am the greatest, but remember I am still that Brittany puppy that is curious and active. I need to get my exercise and have fun, but I do settle down nicely.

　　History: I was born and spent my former life in a pen with a sibling. My former owner was a Hunter/Breeder. Although I was feed, watered and very occasionally handled. I never truly was given affection, just training. When my former owner decided I wasn't going to be a true hunter, he surrendered me to NBRAN, and my foster Dad and Mom brought me to their home and the Barky Bunch Ranch here in AR. At first, they thought I would never stop moving. Hey, here I have room to run and play. But I soon learned that I could go outside any time I wanted to or NEEDED to potty. I have learned not to rush in to greet all the siblings here. They just ignore me or let me know when to BACK OFF! We play and run the fence most of the day. I do need exercise. I don't guard my food, or chew bones, or toys. It's fun to share. I have learned when I'm inside that there are HOUSE RULES! I listen when told NO and stop (at least until I find another prize, like socks). Mom thinks I am very smart and easy to teach. I now sit for a treat, go in my cozy, soft blanketed crate for a treat or just because the Human says so. I fuss a little, but soon settle down and either take a nap or sleep through the night. As for house training, I am doing great. I tell the folks with body language when I can't wait any longer and I don't potty in my blankets or crate. I don't tear up my soft blankie, never had one before, so don't want to destroy my blankie. I no longer counter surf or beg at the table. I want to learn to be the BEST home companion ever. If you would love a Pal to run and play with and snuggle with, I'm your Man. My foster Mom will be glad to tell you more about me as I am in foster care.

　　Medical Note: He did test positive for Ehrlichia, but did not have Ehrlichia. We treated for 30 days with doxy anyway and after treatment did bloodwork. Bloodwork was excellent and none shown in blood smear. Healthy.
