Van Halen is a super laid back, loving lug of a dog. He loves pets &cuddles & will rub on your legs like a
cat. He follows foster mom around and needs to be able to always see her. He does not know how big
he is and would be a very happy lap dog. Van is learning how to behave in a home environment and has
really adapted well. He is super smart and figured out how to get out of his play pen on day 4 and has
never looked back! Sleeps on his bed in foster mom’s room but would love to be IN the bed. He hasn’t
shown much interest in any treats but will do just about anything for cheese. He REALLY wants people
food and counter surfs but responds well to redirection.
It has been too cold to spend much time outside, but foster mom thinks Van would love to be more
active with walks, runs and playing ball. Currently he loves to take laps around the yard. Van still shows
some hesitance going up and down stairs and crossing thresholds to come in from outside but with a
short tug on his collar he will do it. He plays with 14# foster brother and is not aggressive at all. He has
shown no toy or food aggression. He has had pee accidents in the house but no poo. Wears belly bands
most of the time in the house.
Great things about Van Halen:
1. Lover, lover, lover
2. So smart
3. Gets along with everyone – people and animal

4. So handsome & regal – cream with “champagne” accents that will show when hair grows out
5. Doesn’t snore
Who will be the lucky person to be Van Halen’s companion???
