GUTHRIE - DOING BETTER AND DESERVES A CHANCE! - BICHON FRISE / DACHSHUND (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Bichon Frise / Dachshund (long coat). Adoption Fee: $175.00. “Good morning America, how are you?” (Woody Guthrie) Little Guthrie arrived at a local pound in pretty rough shape. He was so badly matted that he had to be anesthetized to get shaved down. It’s obvious that he did not have the best life before that, but that’s all changed for him now. His age is a guess, based mostly on the really bad teeth he had when he got here. It’s possible he’s younger, but there’s just no way to know. He only has five left after his dental, btw, but that doesn't keep him from enjoying his meals and whatever treats might come his way! His foster mom has been acclimating him to being crated while she’s gone. He doesn’t care for it much, but he’s doing ok. It would be great for him if his forever humans wouldn’t be gone for many hours at a stretch. He also has a propensity to mark occasionally. However, he’s currently in a foster home with three other dogs. Though he gets along with them all just fine, he might not feel the need to do that if he were an only child. Guthrie is a really good boy and really, really deserves a better life than he’s undoubtedly had in the past. He’s smart. When he understands what you want him to do, he will try his best to do it. He’s very food-motivated, which is a huge plus for training! Want a cuddle buddy when you’re on the couch watch g TV? Guthrie’s your guy! He’s very good-natured and easy-going. Except for maybe when it comes to the critter-type trespassers. He promises to protect your property from the threat of all squirrels, both foreign and domestic! Guthrie would love a chance to be your boy. He just need an adopter who has the patience and willingness to continue the training with his few things he still needs help with.
