Play-Doh is a tall, dark, and handsome 3-year-old male, neutered German Shepherd who recently got his freedom ride from a local shelter. He’s looking for his forever home and has a lot to offer! He is currently fostered in the Barrie, ON area.
Here’s what we’ve learned about Play-Doh so far:
- Amazing Recall: He knows his name and comes when called.
- Loves Car Rides: He’s a road trip enthusiast.
- Tail Chaser: He loves chasing his tail and getting belly rubs.
- Playful: Just starting to enjoy his toys.
- Leash Lover: Gets super excited when you pick up his leash.
- House Trained: Can hold his potty for a long time.
- Crate Trained: He’s comfortable in his crate.
- Grooming: Has been good to be groomed.
- Non-Chewer: Hasn’t shown a drive to chew things.
- Learning Commands: Currently learning “Sit,” “Down,” and “Stay/Wait.”
Play-Doh has moderate to low energy. He can run all day or happily lean back and take a nap. Being a working breed, however, he would do best in a home that can keep his brain entertained and give him a nice mixture of work and rest.
Things he needs to work on:
- Can get overstimulated but calms down if put into a “sit.”
- Needs leash work, pulls and is vocal towards strangers/other animals (his foster is working on this currently)
- Needs work with jumping up.
- Has shown some separation anxiety when you first leave the room.
- Needs slow introductions to new dogs and people.
- Has a bit of a prey drive that can be worked on in the right home. Currently learning “leave it.”
As a German Shepherd and working breed, Play-Doh would do best in a home with breed experience or a home that is prepared and willing to continue providing him with the routine he loves. He's looking for a home with no cats or young children at this time. He is fostered with another dog and could do well in a home with another dog with an experienced owner. He thrives on having a job to do or a routine to follow, and would benefit from an experienced owner who can provide clear boundaries and expectations to set him up for success.
