My name is Court, I came all the way from Texas with my four brothers after we were rescued from a tough situation. But no fear, I’m learning to trust that I am loved! The first thing Save-A-Bull did was give me a special name, “Court” which is after the Lynx’s Courtney Williams – a great hooper! I have a few features that make me stand out: I've got big paws on long, gangly legs. My ears are a cool dappled black, and my eyes are a light, expressive brown. Everyone says I'm becoming a real athlete and I believe it! Each time we go for a walk I can walk a little longer without getting tired. I’m also getting better at jumping and springing after toys.
I'm happy to report that I'm fully potty-trained! As for my kennel, I'm still getting used to it. I like my kennel and will go in there willingly, but I get a little sad and whine if my humans leave the room. It’s hard not to be able to see them! I'm learning some basic commands like "sit," "down," "place," and "crate." I'm a really smart boy and a fast learner, especially since I'm motivated by two of my favorite things: treats and lots of love from my humans. I love playing by myself with all kinds of toys! When I'm in the yard, I pounce on them and scratch at the ground like I'm trying to dig for treasure. Sometimes I really lose the thread and start wriggling on my back, grunting and hooting with abandon.
My foster home is pretty fun! I live with two other dogs: a five-year-old female Cattle dog and a grumpy thirteen-year-old male Chihuahua. I love to wrestle and play chase with the Cattle dog, but I have to be reminded (about 50% of the time) to leave the little Chihuahua alone – my puppy pounces aren't always appreciated! I haven't officially met any kids yet, but I'm told I would do best with older children. I've never met a cat either, but my foster parents say my moderate prey drive for squirrels and rabbits means I should probably join a cat-free home.
In my dreams I land in a home with a calm and confident family who loves me and gives me plenty of cuddles. I'd love to live somewhere with a big, fenced-in yard, like a homestead or a farm, where I could run around, dig, and chase squirrels to my heart's content. I'd be a great farm dog, helping to watch over the chickens and goats. But if that's not possible, I'd be just as happy with daily walks and a family that will let me sit on their feet while I stare up at them with my dreamy eyes until they scratch my ears and neck. My perfect day would be spending all 24 hours right next to my humans. Could this be you?
