Fog

My story

Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement—Kennel License #2617Behavior Profile Color(s): BlueBlue—Has an energetic and boisterous nature.Could he do well with kids? Yes, with children around 12 years old on a kid-by-kid basis.Could he do well with other dogs? Yes, on a dog-by-dog basis.Has this dog lived with cats? Unknown. [The Lycoming County SPCA does not “cat test” dogs per the Association of Shelter Veterinarian’s Guidelines for Standards of Care in Animal Shelters.]---What volunteers have to say about this animal: Fog is energetic with excitement when he first gets out of the kennel. He loves romping around in the fenced in yard and loves playing with his favorite toy, an egg shaped jolly ball. He likes to go for walks on trails where he can sniff and occasionally graze on grass. He is very smart and a master at treat puzzles. He enjoys doing training sessions, which help with his anxiety he unfortunately has acquired with living in a shelter setting. He can be shy and aloof when he first meets you, but once he gets to know you, he`s so happy to see you and spend time with you. He loves peanut butter and whipped cream pup cups. He also is a big fan of his frozen treat filled Kongs! He is adorable with the cutest ears, where one is always slightly bent.---Condensed Staff Assessment Notes: Fog is an energetic and playful dog who needs training in leash manners, as he tends to pull and zigzag. He accepts handling well and shows no resource guarding outside his kennel, though he does guard his food and space. Fog knows basic cues like sit, come, wait, and stay and can be gently lowered into a down position. His behavior around people is generally good; he enjoys playing without being overly aggressive, especially with toys like tug-of-war. While he greets strangers appropriately, he may jump lightly and take a few minutes to warm up. He initially greeted another dog rudely but calmed down with correction, showing a strong desire to play. He is stable and recovers quickly from startling, but he requires an active handler.---For more resources to help with at any step of your adoption journey go to: https://go.petadoptiongateway.com/LycomingDT
