Bamboo

Animal Profile: Bamboo is an estimated 4-year-old 38 lb neutered male Hawaii mixed breed (possibly Basset Hound with whippet... or something...) with the cutest stubby legs, joining us from Hawaii to Seattle area foster care on Tuesday July 9th. Bummer he has some fire ant damage to his right eye but his vision is not affected. This boy is wiggly but happy to go on walks and breezes right by barking dogs in kennels. He needs training on leash but is not reactive, wanted to chase a cat on intro but was easily called away. He did excellent for vet exams -- easy to handle and no resource guarding shown. He loves a kiddie pool and has a nice play style with other dogs and super friendly to all people. He would like other dogs who can tolerate some chasing and tumbling. More info to come as we get to know him in foster care. Foster Update: Bamboo is such a friendly pup! He wants to meet everyone he comes in contact with and is happy if he can give them a lick or a hug. He is energetic and athletic and loves long walks and even runs-amazing with those cute stubby legs! He will need continued work on his leash skills as he is quite a puller, especially when he encounters a squirrel or other small creature, but he is making great progress with a training collar on. Bamboo is crate and potty trained. He settles well in the house, but prefers to spend his time next to, or on top of, his people. Be prepared for a somewhat oversized lap dog if you are interested in adopting this snuggly guy! Bamboo is gentle and doing well with the toddler in his foster home. He is friendly with other dogs and enjoys a good game of chase. We think he would be fine as an only dog or with another pup to run around and get his energy out. He has spent some time in a temp foster and has done very well with their dog savvy cat. He is interested but friendly and has not chased at all. This friendly guy will make a great addition to an active family willing to put in little leash training time.
