Who doesn't need a little angel to pal around and go places with? Look no further than Warrior!!! His name means "resilient" and "brave", and this gentle guy truly lives up to his name. He came to the shelter a few months ago as a stray who was severely emaciated and sick. Since that time, he has been nursed back to a proper weight and loves human attention. While he may get overlooked due to the calm, quiet demeanor he exhibits in his cage, he will look at you with patient and sad eyes wanting you to pick him. My kids and I recently took Warrior on his first Dog Day Trip out of the shelter and this is what we experienced...
- Large Mixed breed (58 pounds)
- An amazing car-rider... he got right in without any hesitation and loved to stare out the window.
- He could use some training with leash skills, but I think he would be easily trainable as he is very food motived.
- A gentle treat taker! Warrior loved the hamburger, peanut butter filled kong, dog treats and pup cups he was treated to during the 4-hours we were together.
- He is a quiet dog who didn't bark one time, even when my neighbor's dog came over to see who was next door.
- Love, love, loved to play fetch with tennis balls in our fenced in back yard with my kids.
- He is truly a gem and loved interacting with my kids (ages 8-11). He just melted when they pet him and he fell asleep beside them for a much needed nap.
- Slightly older kids might be better as he can get excited and jump.
- Very affectionate, snuggly, well-mannered, a true Velcro dog, and playful (active during fetch and zoomies around the back yard) yet calm.
- Super smart and trainable... he already knows "sit".
- Loves the smells of the outside but ignored my neighbor's dog and didn't really react to my cats who were meowing while we were separated with Warrior in a different room.
WARRIOR is a true gem and one that would make an excellent addition to your family! Please, please stop by and meet him... I promise you, he will become your best friend!!!
