delta

Delta was a transfer from a municipal based shelter that was in proximity of the Aspen Acres Fire. Whether his old owners left him, lost him, or they realized they couldn't take him with them going forward, Delta wound up in an overcrowded space where lots of other animals were facing similar outcomes. Delta is a wonderful ambassador of his breed - he is very smart, very trainable, and he loves routines (like he enjoys hanging in his crate with the door open.) Delta loves other dogs and just wants to play - so either a canine companion of similar size and energy - or a human committed to keeping his body and his brain busy is a must. Delta has ignored chickens and other birds, as well as cats in his foster homes. Delta would be an amazing hiking partner, jogging buddy, or even just a dog that knows some basic and advanced obedience where his colors can shine. He is a lean 68lbs and could put on a little more weight - however he is not super food motivated and does not have any resource issues. In fact, we frequently have to pick up bowls that he has not completed just to keep the other dogs from grazing off of his meals throughout the day. Delta is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped with registration, dewormed, flea and tick treated, and has been provided heart worm prevention. This gorgeous guy could be your best four legged friend ever - he just needs someone to give him a chance. He knows some general obedience, but is very easy to train. Delta is crate trained and is house trained - however as he was recently neutered, at least for now while the hormones are leaving, if he is unmonitored he sometimes marks in the house. We believe this behavior will decrease and stop over the next several weeks. Delta does great with kids and does not mind being handled or having people up in his space. Delta loves walks and although he isn't an off leash canine yet, he enjoys trips to the dog park and will come when called.
