He isn't a big boy--but he has a huge heart! And did we mention he's super cute?!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Senator is a \u201cturn key dog.\u201d He is sweet and loving \u2013 and will make sure you never had to use the bathroom alone ever again! He\u2019s just starting to give little Eskimo kisses to his foster mom. Senator eats well (he\u2019s a bit food motivated so he may try to steal a snack from another bowl) and does all his business outside! He sleeps quietly through the night in a dog bed although we\u2019re trying to move his wake up call to a bit later in the morning!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179\" style=\"width: 271px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sighthoundunderground.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/senator.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-179\" alt=\"Senator!\" src=\"https:\/\/sighthoundunderground.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/senator-271x300.jpg\" width=\"271\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Senator!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Senator is not shy, exactly, but he is a bit unsure of himself at times. He does look to other dogs for confidence. He is not at all dominant and has not put one foot wrong with his foster pack. And he doesn\u2019t seem to be a greyhound snob \u2013 he\u2019s as happy with his golden retriever pals as his greyhound friends. He does need a home with a four-legged pal of some sort, though.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That said, we\u2019re not sure of his small dog status. Medium dogs are certainly fine, but little fluffy white ones seem to be a bit too interesting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What else? He\u2019s clumsy up the stairs \u2013 takes them like a kangaroo \u2013 but is never hesitant on them. He has no problem with \u201cscary\u201d wood or tile floors. He\u2019s not high energy \u2013 a walk once a day is fine. And he\u2019s good on a leash.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We think he\u2019s a great dog! His adoption fee is $300 and Senator is available to approved homes anywhere in the US or Canada.
