Logan 08-011 [1]

It is my great pleasure to introduce Logan to the RAGOM world! Logan is a 3-4 month old boy who came to RAGOM from a breeder. He was vetted this afternoon and then had two baths, a nail trim and got his ears cleaned up. He's a little squirt with big paws to grow into, at the moment he only weighs 24 pounds. He was shy and reserved, but his eyes (and tail) lit up when he met the two resident dogs in his foster home. He is our resident golden's shadow -- a fact which immensely pleases only one of them. Because he lived at the breeder longer than an average puppy he has a lot of catching up to do in the puppy socialization department -- fortunately it is not hard to find volunteers interested in coming over to get some puppy kisses and his social calendar is filling up quickly. We also took him to observe an obedience class tonight and he got to meet several new dogs and dog owners. It's been a busy, busy day for a little snugglebug who is now cuddling on my lap as I type this update.

At this point I would say that his ideal forever home would have another dog to show him the ropes since he really comes out of his shell with our dogs. He also needs a family who is ready to enroll him in obedience classes and make a very deliberate effort to expose him to a wide range of new people and experiences to help him make up for lost time in the socialization department.

Sorry for the bad picture, Logan was a little too tired to participate in the photo session today and was not at all sure what I was up to pointing that camera in his face while he was trying to nap. Hopefully we will get some better ones tomorrow!
