SHAW - HUSKY / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Husky / Mixed. A SUPER SMART FELLOW: Approx. 3 years old / Approx. 33 lbs. Hello – I’m Shaw! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and I am so happy to be soaking up all the love from the volunteers. I’m now ready to find a wonderful home of my very own with a family to love and be loved by! I’m currently in the prison/foster training program off-site and learning a lot! Please inquire at 770-272-6888 to find out when I'm available to meet. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met other dogs at Mostly Mutts and got along well with them overall. I especially enjoy it when they chase me, though I wasn’t a fan when the bigger dogs wanted to wrestle. If you have a nice doggie at home already, let’s meet with my trainer. / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet. Older children would be best, due to my guarding tendencies, and – of course, let’s meet! • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a super sweet and playful Husky mix with a fluffy coat and a bigger heart. I’m a happy, smart boy who even knows how to sing you a proper Husky howling song when the mood strikes. I’m ready for a job - something fun, something active, and something that lets me use this big brain of mine. I am true to my Husky breed, so I’ll need a strong, confident leader who understands my breed well. Please keep in mind that I love my food a bit too much, as I will guard it. The Mostly Mutts trainer has helped me make good progress in this area and will be happy to help you. / My energy level is a 10, so I will need daily exercise. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, where I am learning lots of great commands with my trainer. I’m a smart guy and have mastered the ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘stay’, ‘leave it’ and ‘drop it’ commands. I also know how to walk nicely on a leash, accept friendly strangers without jumping, as well as how to utilize proper door etiquette. I’m sure to learn even more! I guard my food, but my trainer has this behavior under control and can show you how to manage it (including the use of time-outs), so please just ask about this. I can be sensitive to touch when new people move too quickly with me and will give a warning snap when overstimulated. I am overall easily corrected and thrive in a scheduled environment where I can feel confident that I know what is coming next. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts and I prefer to have something partially covering it when I’m in there. / My potty habits have been good on the shelter schedule, so hopefully that will be the case in my new home, too. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love playing fetch in the pen - I'll chase that ball all day if you let me, and don’t worry, I’m a pro at ‘drop it’, too! I know THAT is how you keep the game going! Belly rubs and petting? Yes, please! Just maybe skip the ears - I’m not a fan of those being fussed with. / I am timid of things around my neck right now. Using a wider leash will help. I did not want to be picked up and placed in the tub, so a walk-in shower or outside baths when it’s warm enough would be a good option for me. I also need new people to move slowly with me. Otherwise, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I am looking for a home where I will be a much-loved family member! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
