Rembrandt is a perfect potato, with fur the color of toasted coconut and an adorable frosting face who has landed in Muttville just in time to find his perfect home for the holidays. He’s a little shy but warms up quickly (especially if you have a treat or two handy – it’s remarkable how brave the shy seniors become when enticed with a bit of chicken!). Rembrandt is a politely personable dog, although not always keen to initiate introductions, he’s very receptive to well-mannered mutts. He’s the perfect snuggle-size, so if you’re looking for someone to join you on the couch during these cold winter days, Rembrandt might just be the dog for you!
Here’s some notes from his foster:
Rembrandt started out a bit shy and is blossoming into a socially friendly, open and flexible little gentleman. His temperament is so mild and wonderfully gentle. House training is going well, he is learning to use pads and he is proving that if he is taken out regularly for bathroom breaks there will be zero accidents.
I have a twenty pound standard dachshund and Rembrandt and Buster have the perfect dog relationship: friendly and ambivalent toward each other simultaneously. Rembrandt happily shares Buster’s toys without incident. Both dogs share my small 250 square foot studio apartment and there is no aggression, only happy tolerant dogs that enjoy each other’s company.
Rembrandt on walks does not pull the lead and keeps a good pace. He’s great on busy Market Street and loves quiet side streets too. I live near the Laguna Street apartments and he enjoys seeing regular resident friends on our walks there. Rembrandt is confident and comfortable around wheel chairs and walking assistance devices and is calm when people lean down to offer him pets and love. Many people comment on Rembrandt’s brown eyes and friendly openness.
Rembrandt spends a good part of the day napping with my dog and being a calm gentle presence in my home. Love this dog!!
