When Troy first came to Coastal he was a scared little fellow. It appeared he had never been inside a house, he was afraid to come in the door, afraid of the TV, afraid of dog crates, afraid of the big dogs. While some things still scare him-like the dog brush-he has come a long way. He will now go willingly into a crate, and is happy to stay there.

He loves people, always greets everyone at adoption events with wags of his cute curly tail and a good face licking. He's learning some commands-"sit: and "come" so far, but will benefit from further obedience training and some "doggy socialization". He will bark if there's alien intruders to bark at, but is not a constant barker. He's very athletic and graceful-would make a good Agility prospect. He walks very well on a leash, and is quite content to take a good car ride. He probably would not do well in a home with cats-he chases anything that runs. A home with an active family and a yard with a GOOD fence would be ideal for our little Troy Boy.
