Foster Situation: Jupiter is in a home with an older Boston Terrier, a female pit, a cat and Jupiter's brother, Pluto. He is doing well with everyone and is a little fearful with the cat - who can be kind of a bully to the dogs.
Jupiter is doing well with housebreaking - only a couple of accidents which were really my fault because I was too lazy to pick up the little heifer right after releasing him from the crate. It's a long way from his crate to the back door!
He is working on"sit" and walking on a leash. Jupiter is a little stubborn and less adventurous than his brother. He is curious, though, and likes to explore. He is a definite cuddler and loves to fall asleep on your lap! He does great meeting new people and gives lots of kisses and affection - just runs right up to everyone he sees.
He does well in the car and is starting to stand up at the window to see what's going on. He never tries to climb into the front seat - just stays in the back and looks around. Eventually he will lay down and sleep.
Those eyes | Standing | Too cute | What's over there?
Training: We are working on the basics - come, sit, crate, leash walks and most importantly housebreaking. He is doing well with housebreaking. He is a little stubborn and will eventually just quit walking on the leash when he decides he's had enough.

Personality: Jupiter is a cuddler. He has the usual puppy curiosity. Likes to play with his brother, other dogs, whoever is around. He likes to race his brother to chase a ball and will bring it back (usually, sometimes we lose interest before we can get back!). He is a little bull-headed and food is a great motivator!
Best Attribute: Jeez, he's a puppy! All of his attributes are the best!

ADOPTION UPDATE
Hey Everyone,
You all played a big role in our ability to be together as a new little family and I really want to say thank you and let you know how much we appreciate all of your hard work and efforts.
Oliver (Jupiter) is a really happy and playful puppy, he loves to be playing all the time and enjoys being in a house with so many people around all the time to play with. He eats like someones going to steal his bowl away from him :) Housebreaking is going quite well he pee'd and pooped in his crate the first night, but that was the end of that. The last two nights he hasn't went potty in there at all, but really has to go in the morning! Oliver is a little nibbler and were working on cutting that out...lol, long battle I'm sure. (he's got some razor sharp lil teeth too) His Momma, Brittney loves to let him on the couch when Daddy's not around...shes a little cheater! Those beautiful little green puppy dog eyes are certainly hard to resist though. For some reason all the dogs he's been around are scared of him and run away, except his big sis Trixie, who has a hard time trying not to stomp on the little guy cause she gets so excited.
Here are a few pictures of Oliver, Myself, Brittney, and His Big Brother (My Son) Aaron. Thanks Again, I'll keep you updated,
Shane, Brittney, and Oliver
