We were lucky to get copies of every single record about him (a rare luxury in rescue) and I read the shelter personality tests with great interest. His transformation from the rough, unruly pup turned into the shelter to where he is now is nothing short of amazing and is a clear testament to the value of shelters and rescues working together. The shelter staff saw his potential in spite of the ridiculous behavior his original owners created, got him in with the rescue and their skilled volunteers (special kudos to his amazing foster dad) immediately started reshaping this diamond-in-the-ruff into the stellar dog he will eventually be.
He's got a long way to go to perfect his manners and to learn not to bowl people over with his enthusiastic affection, but he's incredibly smart (less than 24 hours before he learned to open my husband's office door) and we are thrilled to have the honor of raising this special dog.
