About Plutarch
-He’s a little timid and was nervous navigating the hallways on leash. The loud traffic around the corner and the wind had him feeling a bit uneasy, but he was quick to seek out some reassurance, immediately hopping up on the bench to be next to me for pets. Treats were a great way to win him over! He’s very food motivated, and once I started offering them, he began to relax and even gave me some tail wags. He’ll occasionally offer a sit, although I’m not sure he quite understands the cue yet. He also started showing a little playful side with a couple of small zoomies.-Once inside, I sat on the floor and he came right over for attention, eventually flipping onto his back for belly rubs. He’s a wiggly, excitable little guy who gives lots of kisses! He can be unsure of new things, though. When I brought my phone closer to take a video, he was initially curious but quickly became nervous and backed away. When I tried again later, he moved to the other side of the room. He didn’t show any interest in toys, but he’s clearly trying his best to navigate a world that can feel a little overwhelming. He wants to be close, make friends, and connect with you. He’ll just need a little patience, reassurance, and time to build his confidence.
