Rango

My story

Name, age, breed: Rango, 2yrs, Boxer mixLikes: Attention, burning off his energy, going for walksDislikes: Sudden movements, loud noisesWhat would be the ideal home? Rango would do well in a home with an experienced owner that can continue his obedience training and socialization. Good with other cats? No as he has a prey driveGood with dogs? Yes, if given the proper introductionGood with children? Possibly, but no toddlers recommended due to size, energy and nervousnessTemperament: Shy but friendly, activeMotivators? Treats, kibbleAny commands? Sit, lay downHouse trained? UnknownCrate trained? UnknownHow long will it take to settle into a new environment? 3-3-3 rule: First 3 days - Your dog may be overwhelmed and may hide, have a lack of appetite, or test boundaries. Give them space and time to adjust in a quiet room with their bed, food, water, and toys. 3 weeks - Your dog may start to settle in and their personality will emerge. You can expect behavior issues to arise, so set boundaries and expectations with positive reinforcement training. 3 months - Your dog should be comfortable and acclimated to your home. They should know their routine and expect meals and enrichment at specific times.Any special needs or traits an adopter should know?
