About dogs named Forest

The following are 11 profiles of dogs named Forest from our database of 60 dogs with the name Forest.

• “Forest is a young cattle dog (blue heeler) that loves to explore and check out new places. He’s learning it’s okay to go off and sniff around or run freely when visiting sniff spots. He is super sweet and a little weary at times while he regains some confidence in a new area but a few treats or some tug and this guy will trot around your spot like he owns the place 🤣“

  — Michaela I.

• “Forest is a new family member and we are just getting to know eachother. He's 4 years old and loves to sniff! Social a but, but maybe not as high energy as our other 3 year old dood.“

  — Mandie B.

  — Abby L.

• “Boxer/Husky with some shepherd in him! Loves to run, a bit scared of people (men mostly). He's a rescue.“

  — Kate B.

• “Hello! My name is Forest! I’m recently rescued and am incredibly sweet but very nervous boy. I’m reactive towards other dogs and strangers (I think men are especially scary). I also take a few minutes to warm up to new places, but I’m smart and just need time to adjust. If you happen to see me, please don’t interact or approach. I really love my space and my parent’s personal space. My pawrent is working on slowly and safely introducing me to new places. We’re currently working with a trainer to help with my obedience and reactivity but this will be a very long journey and I’m at the beginning, please be patient with me, I’m learning!“

  — Rachel K.

• “Forest is the sweetest boy, he is so playful and kind! Loves water and all activities he is so friendly !!“

  — Faidra G.

• “Forest is super friendly with other dogs but shy at first, he loves to roughhouse and play fight once he warms up (plays very hard). He is a roughly 3 year old Malinois we got from the shelter about a year ago and he loves my Doberman Reece but unfortunately Reece has dog aggression (not towards forest) so we never take them to Dog parks, but I want to keep forest socialized with other dogs. He is fixed!“

  — Sophia S.

• “My name is Forest, I am 2 years old. I love other dogs. I have very good manners. I know all basic commands. I am trained and I listen to my mom about 98% of the time (when I don't have the zoomies). My mom says I am 80 lbs of love and goofball.“

  — Amanda R.

• “I’m Forest and I’m here to sniff every square inch of the land and run until my big heart desires! I will stare out into the distance to make sure there are no incoming predators and will carefully find the best spot to take it all in. My hoomans say I’m a big baby but I just love cuddles and somebody to lean on (literally!)“

  — Julia C.

• “Hi I’m Forest. I’m the baby of the pack. I’ve never been to a dog park but I love to run around and play with my sisters and parents. I get nervous of new people and dogs but I warm up quick.“

  — Precious L.
