Spartacus A269441

Hi, I’m Spartacus!

This is what my foster parents say about me! :

"In the short time Spartacus has been with us, he has shown us how sweet he is once he feels safe! A bit vocal when he wants your attention or when first meeting people (mostly men) but settles down quickly. He needs slow introductions with men and regular exercise and socialization/enrichment to keep this smart guy happy and healthy!"

The staff at the OHS call me an Explorer! Explorers are self-starters with high exercise needs who are ready to make their own itinerary for the day. They love adventure and need to keep busy, but prefer not to have to fit too much socializing into their calendar. They enjoy the companionship of select people and while they may enjoy a good belly rub from time-to-time, they are often happy to find a great spot to sit or play independently. Good daily activities include running miles with you on empty trails, joining on long distance bike rides, or chasing their ball until the sun goes down. With lots of physical and mental exercise to stay happy, an Explorer will settle into a solid relationship with you. If you're looking for a resourceful, active companion who won't need to go busy places with you, consider an Explorer! 

Mental exercise is an important part of an Explorer's day. Good mental activities include using a food dispensing puzzle for meals, giving frozen treats and food-stuffed toys, mixing it up with a variety of chew toys, hiding food and toys for them to sniff out, and playing training games! These exciting activities help to work their mind and tire them out while hanging at home. 

New faces and unfamiliar places can scare me. I have not been aggressive at this time but it is best not to push my boundaries when I am scared. 

I can be reactive towards men especially unfamiliar men.

I am looking for a home with no young kids under the age of 10.
