I’ve hijacked #FosterFriday to introduce you to this absolute smoke show, Cable, who is our current houseguest, and an excellent one at that.

Cable was 56 pounds when we picked him up a few months ago, which he explained to us was “under-weight MORE TREATS PLEASE.” So, he might be a tiny bit chonkier than that 3 months later. Cable is 5 and possesses impeccable manners and house training. He’s currently living with two dog ladies of a certain age, including an almost 13yo chiweenie who suffers no fools. He’s been very gentle with both of his foster sisters and they have learned to step out of the way when the zoomies hit him in the backyard. At PAWS, Cable has several dog playmates and tolerates occasionally getting his clock cleaned by some of his more rough and tumble friends. He also has a bevy of human lady friends whom he could not love more, including but not limited to Delaney, Peyton, Tulsi, Michele, Kristen and Kayla, Chiara and Kiersten, MarLee, Laura and Harriet. This biggun’ walks like a prince on leash and knows his basic commands. He is a master snuggler and enjoys sandwiching himself between you and the couch pillows and placing his head on your shoulder. He will then fall asleep and snore loudly into the crook of your neck. Personal space is overplayed, he says. Cable is such a star, a secret admirer has paid his adoption fee. How could we make it any more obvious you need this hunk? Cable is crate trained and incredibly food-motivated. Treats are his jam, and we play it fast and loose with “paying” him for good behavior. He takes direction very well and is very sensitive to how you are feeling, consistently checking in with you. Cable tends to do well with new people and dogs, but he does need a slow introduction, which we can facilitate at PAWS. Right now, I think he would feel most comfortable in an adult home — and he would love to have a dog friend. If you have a dog or dogs, you can bring them out to the shelter for a supervised introduction. He tends to do really well with other dogs, especially with proper introductions. I adore this guy and am happy to answer any of your questions about Cable! ❤️ Beth
