Caribou's story
Must love hugs!
Hello friends! Im Caribou. Sadly I was found in a terrible home, where I was confined to an old rusty crate with no bottom, just wires. This was terribly uncomfortable and hurt my feet!  I was dirty and had wounds (now scars) on my front legs, paws, and a few on my face. Im still a very handsome boy though! My young life was not easy. The police saved me, and now I am eager and hopeful to find an affectionate, cuddle-loving family to give me a fresh start.  Could that be you?
Given his difficult past, Caribou is incredibly friendly. He enjoys nothing more than affection and being close to his people. He displays this joy by literally hugging you around the waist while standing on his back two legs whenever he gets the opportunity. Once he is confident he has your affection, Caribou can play independently with toys and enjoys occasional naps. He initially met a male on leash and did well and has met others while on walks and is interested in the meetings. He is currently being fostered with a senior female. He is respectful with her need for space, while at the same time eager to play and become friends.
Initially Caribou squinted and cowered with overhead movement such as the motion to pet him on the head. Quite promptly he overcomes this reaction once confident you are not out to hurt him. Therefore calm, inside voices are encouraged while he is getting to know you. He knows how to sit when asked, and takes treats very gently although is mostly people motivated, with the primary goal of obtaining affection.  He does eat a healthy amount once he is confident he has your attention and trust. He enjoys the concept of praise, and is doing very well with crate training. He is also receiving potty training, and appreciates the new world of walks with his foster sister. He is very comfortable with handling of teeth, feet, coat, ears, hugs, etc. including being comfortable with bathing. Caribou is a Safe Humane Chicago Court Case Dog, evaluated by a certified dog trainer/behaviorist and provided a lifetime of FREE behavior support! 
His training is included in the adoption fee.
