He’s alert, eager to learn, and will do great with a family who will continue working with him on training and helping him grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. He enjoys people and likes children, but due to his size he would likely do best with older kids who can handle a bigger, enthusiastic companion. Before coming into rescue, he spent much of his time wandering the streets and visiting neighborhood yards. He was known to sneak into yards to play with dog friends, so he does have experience around other dogs. As with any new dog, proper introductions will be important to help everyone get off to a good start. Because of his past, he does have some fear of the leash and harness, but our volunteers are actively working with him to build confidence and positive associations, and he is already making progress. At this time, there is no known history with cats. This sweet, smart boy is ready for a patient family who will continue helping him learn, grow, and finally enjoy the stability and love he deserves. With guidance and consistency, he’s sure to become a loyal and wonderful companion.&#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  ********************************************************************************** We show some of our adoptable dogs at PetSmart, Utica, each Saturday between the hours of 11:00am and 3:00pm.  Cats typically don't do well at events, so they only attend with a pre-approved meet and greet appointment.
