Name, age, breed: Bosco, 2yrs, Shepherd mix
Likes: cuddling!! Going for walks (loves to pick up sticks on the walk), attention, being social, treats, loves his Kong toy
Dislikes: receiving medication, doesn't love cold water, sudden noises he can't see
What would be the ideal home? A home that can keep up with Bosco's energy and training. He would love a place to run around to burn his energy. Would benefit from learning basic commands. Would do well in a home where the owner is home often.
Good with other cats? No
Good with dogs? No; would recommend a home with no other dogs as he isn't properly socialized with them. He becomes very excited when he sees another dog and doesn't know how to act so he gets frustrated.
Good with children? No children under 14 years, he cane jumpy when excited
Temperament: Friendly, high energy, curious, very social
Motivators? Treats, kibble, toys
Any commands? Sit, learning: down, gentle, leave it, stay, release command to eat
House trained? Yes, but has had accidents in the house. Would benefit from a strict house training schedule/routine.
Crate trained? In the process of training, he's warming up to it very slowly
How long will it take to settle into a new environment? 4 weeks
Any special needs or traits an adopter should know? May require long-term anxiety medication, or until he is settled in to a new environment. He does panic sometimes with stuff he isn't familiar with as he is under socialized for his age. Will get overstimulated on walks sometimes if there is a lot of people or animals around.
