​Pascal (aka Cal) is a dream dog! Once he knows and trusts you, he is extremely sweet and snuggly, and loves to cuddle on the couch. Although he hasn’t quite grasped the concept of fetch, he enjoys running around the yard during play time but is perfectly content relaxing when it isn’t time to play. His favorite toys are stuffed toys, but he only chews them gently instead of tearing them apart. He is a quiet dog who rarely barks, is potty trained and crate trained, and he is well behaved when left unattended with free roam of the house. He loves to play with other dogs and is very gentle and sweet with the cats in his foster home, although he sometimes wishes they would play with him like a dog! He is food motivated and likes to train and do tricks as long as it means he gets rewarded frequently.

Cal is shy and cautious around strangers and takes a few minutes to learn that they are safe and won’t hurt him, especially if he is in an unfamiliar location. It typically doesn’t take him long to get used to new people and once he does, they’ll see he was worth it! While Cal has made great strides since being in a foster home for just a short while, he would benefit from a forever home that is able to continue working on his confidence and be patient with him as he overcomes his fears.
