When he first arrived, Crypt was timid and unsure. He kept his distance and was very quiet during the first couple of weeks. But around week two, he began to blossom—his personality started to shine, and we quickly saw how intelligent he is. He’s got the smarts of a German Shepherd and has even learned how to nudge open doors and gates, though he never gets into anything he shouldn’t. Crypt is fully potty trained and takes food and treats with gentle care. It took him a little time to discover that peanut butter and cheese are delicious, and now he accepts treats with a sweet hesitation, almost as if asking, “Are you sure this is for me?” He’s grown more comfortable with affection and no longer backs away when I reach out to pet him. By the second week, he was soaking up scratches and began cuddling next to me on the couch and in bed. While he enjoys chewing on a fancy bone, Crypt hasn’t shown much interest in toys or balls yet. He’ll chase a ball when tossed but lets his foster sibling do the retrieving. If you’re someone who spends a lot of time in the car, Crypt might be your perfect copilot. He whimpers every time I leave the house and tries to sneak into the car with me. He absolutely loves scenic drives, especially with his snout out the window. Now that he’s settled in, Crypt has become quite vocal. He’s quiet when I’m gone, but when I’m home, he does bark—often to communicate or get attention. We’re working on his barking etiquette, helping him learn when it’s appropriate to bark and when it’s not. When he knows it’s not the time to bark, he switches to his signature husky noises instead! His playful side is starting to emerge, and he enjoys upright wrestling with his foster sister. He’s also a total Velcro dog—he follows me everywhere around the house, but he’s great at just relaxing nearby while I read or take phone calls. Crypt free roams the house when I’m away and simply naps. He hasn’t gotten into any mischief at all. Due to his vocal nature, I wouldn’t currently recommend Crypt for apartment living. While he’s quiet when left alone, his barking at home could be disruptive in close quarters. We’ll continue to share updates as we learn more about this sweet boy. Crypt is truly a joy to have in our home.
