My story

Niven is living in a foster home. Fill out our quick adoption survey, and then we can set up a phone call or meet and greet with the foster! Niven is: Neutered: Yes! Up to date on vaccines: Yes! Microchipped: Yes! Our microchips will automatically register when an adoption is finalized More about Niven: Housebroken: Yes! Crate trained: He has done well with free roam when home alone, which he prefers to being crated. Leash walking: He loves walks but he can be reactive and pull, and would do best in a lower-traffic neighborhood. He has been working on this with his foster, and has been making a lot of progress! His adopter will be offered a free spot in our virtual leash reactivity training class! Dog social: He has lived successfully with other calm and tolerant dogs, but he may be selective with some dogs. Cat social: Unknown, but he has shown prey drive toward small critters on walks Kid friendly: He would do best in an adults-only home, due to resource guarding behaviors and some body sensitivity Niven likes: - Napping with (or ideally, on) his person - Going for walks in quiet areas - Playing tug or fetch Niven is SO sweet and loves his humans so hard, and the spot he most wants to be is curled up on your lap with blankets. He is also one of the funniest dogs you'll ever met. Niven jumps with the stealth of a gazelle - on beds, couches, chairs, and directly into your arms when you come home, even if you've only been gone 10 minutes. Niven loves hiding places. He is a blanket extraordinaire and will also curl up in laundry baskets. He thrives with structure and a routine, and does best in a quiet building where he will not experience too many frequent noises (i.e. doors slamming, loud voices in hallways, etc.). Niven is currently taking medication for anxiety support, and has been receiving medicated baths and allergy meds for his skin. Niven's adoption fee is $300, and he is ready to love on his forever person! Next steps: Email adopt@onetail.org with questions, or submit an application online and we'll be in touch to schedule a meeting: https://www.onetail.org/apply-to-adopt/ *** Our adoption application stays on file for one year and can apply to any dog in our program. Once the app is submitted you will receive an email within 48-72 hours. For additional questions, email adopt@onetail.org ***

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Niven, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
