My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

FOSTER LOCATION: Boise, ID

Satchmo is one amazing boy; this guy is 5 years old and a Poodle/Lab/Chesapeake mix! Satchmo came to Fuzzy Pawz Rescue after finding himself in a local shelter when his owner was deployed overseas.

This guy is so well behaved – good with kids, other dogs (no cats please), is crate trained, walks well on a leash, and knows basic commands (sit, stay, lay down…). He loves going for car rides, hikes, jogging and being in the water.

Not sure what else you could want in a dog.

Satchmo is a great mix of play and easy going. He is the kind of dog that loves to learn and be engaged with his humans; he needs to be a part of their entire lives. He will need a home with kids that understand that bigger dogs can knock them over and that know not to pull tails, ears (over age 5 is good).

Satchmo does have bilateral hip dysplasia despite the fact that he is not currently showing any symptoms – he is not in pain, does not limp, it doesn’t slow him down in the least. He will however eventually start to show signs (we’d guess in a few years) and will need FHO surgery to repair. For now keep him active without harsh physical activity (running is good but not on concrete) and he will stay healthy.

Please note that Satchmo was a matted mess and had to be shaved, he has a Poodle type coat and will need regular grooming.

This boy is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and weighs around 55 pounds.

If you think you are good enough to be Satchmo’s forever family, please complete an adoption application here: http://fuzzypawzrescue.com/adopt/adoption-application-2/

There is a $150 adoption fee for Satchmo
