Radish is more than just a root vegetable — he’s a fun-loving little socialite with big puppy energy who is seeking an adopter with a sense of humor. As soon as he enters the room, the party starts!
Radish entered our care as a young dog without any socialization, which is how puppies learn to feel comfortable navigating the world. Because he missed out on these early experiences, he was very fearful of new situations, people and everyday things. In his time at the BRC, he has gained an incredible amount of confidence and resilience around new situations. He is now ready to be someone’s goofy companion!
Radish is a big fan of other dogs. He enjoys rough-and-tumble wrestling as well as high-speed chase play. He has done well with a variety of dogs here, and he has been respectful of dogs who aren’t as interested in playing. He generally warms up to new people within the first meeting, especially when treats are involved.
To celebrate his first birthday, we threw him a party, which included a large playgroup with lots of dogs and human friends. Radish took turns playing with his dog besties and getting love from his human pals. He was a wonderful host and sure knows how to throw a party! He tolerates petting and handling, but in his words, he has “better things to do,” which tend to include typical puppy antics like zooming around the room or grabbing the nearest toy.
Radish does seem to feel more confident with another dog as a support buddy, but he has also done well meeting new people and trying new things without another dog nearby. Radish would love to find a home where he can continue to grow his confidence and be his silly puppy self!
