Preacher

Preacher is a special dog looking for a very special person. He is a 2 yr old neutered, vaccinated Boxer mix. While he is incredibly lovable and adored by shelter staff and volunteers, he has some quirks that make it a little more challenging to find him a family. He truly needs a hero, that special person, who can provide the love and support that he needs. Preacher's strengths: -He loves people and wants to greet everyone who walks by, tail wagging. His happy demeanor is guaranteed to make you smile! -He loves to walk and does well on a leash. -He is a happy guy who loves to play (fetch and tug of war are his favorites) -He already knows sit and he can "drop it" when playing fetch -He loves to ride in the car -He also loves to just sit in the parking lot with staff or volunteers and watch cars go by. Considerations for Preacher: -While he is good with people, he is not good with other animals. - He needs someone who is both firm and kind. - He loves to play, but he can sometimes get hyper-focused on the object; this is where firmness is important, reinforcing his training to sit while he waits for the object he wants. - He needs a fenced yard or someone with a lot of land to run and play, as he is a high energy dog. A home where he is left for long periods of time and just expected to lay around will not work for him. If anyone could foster or adopt Preacher, you would be his hero (and ours!). Shelter life has been stressful for him, and we are working hard to help him find a good life outside of the shelter. If you think you could help our boy, please reach out to us. We love this guy so much and just want the best situation for him.
