PARKER - LHASA APSO (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Lhasa Apso (medium coat). Parker is old enough to know better but still too young to care, which might possibly explain why he went on a unauthorized adventure and found himself at TJO in need of some rest and love. Parker is sociable but a little reserved with new people. As with many dogs, it's best to let him set the pace for introductions! OTHER PETS: Parker should meet any dog he would be living with prior to adoption to ensure a good fit but would likely get along with other dogs. [Case by Case (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: [First Dog] KIDS: Parker hasn't shown great interest in toys during his time at the shelter, but that may change once he has settled into a home. He would investigate toys, was comfortable with most handling, solicited attention, has not exhibited resource guarding while at the shelter - to ensure a good fit Parker should meet any humans he would be living with prior to adoption. [10+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Parker is a little dog who enjoys running in the grass, sniffing all the good things, and exploring the world around him. He investigated but did not play with toys, and actively solicited attention from staff. He has been improving his loose-leash skills but will benefit from ongoing positive reinforcement, regular exercise, and plenty of mental enrichment. [Good Walking Buddy] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Parker bond with his new owner as well as help him learn life skills and possibly some new tricks. [Minimal] GROOMING: Regular brushing will help keep Parker's coat clean and matt-free between groomings; he should be groomed every 6 - 8 weeks. [Professional Grooming]
