My name is Newton and I'm looking for my new bestest friend! My friends call me Isaac though, it's a better fit. My foster mama found me and my brother, Kepler, playing on a country road outside of San Antonio. She was worried we were going to get hit by a car so she puppy napped us!
She didn't know we had parvo at the time, I'm a big tough puppy dog though so I wasn't as sick as my brother. Even though I'm a big tough puppy, I'm still a little shy, especially around dogs and people I don't know and I get spooked easily. My favorite game is being chased all around the yard and when I get to snuggle up with my foster mom. I'm a regular little snuggle bug.
My foster mom says that she's fostered lots of puppies (but I know me and Kepler are obviously her very favorites) and she says we're some of the sweetest best puppies we've ever met. Me especially! I don't really get into too much trouble, I love playing with my brother and my puppy toys too much!
I'm learning about potty training and potty first thing when I go outside. I'm also a natural at the crate and run right in and wait for my treat! I sleep reliably through the night and have never had an accident in my crate.
Newton is a great pup and is very sweet and shy. He can be a little skittish and vocal. He's going to be a very big boy (probably 80+ pounds I think) and probably a heavy shedder. He's a typical puppy for his age.

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
