When you share your adoption story with us, we’ll send you free deals on pet parent favorites like Greenies, Royal Canin, Whistle smart devices, Wisdom DNA tests, and more.
If you see pets listed by a private owner, it means that they’re adoptable through Adopt a Pet’s Rehome program – the safe and reliable way to find a loving new home for your pet.
Note: Due to his extreme leash reactivity and lack of socialization, please indicate in your application that you are willing to take on a dog with serious behavioral issues.
Pogo is a four year old Maltese mix and is happy as long as he's by your side. He lacked training when I adopted him from the shelter, but he's been working hard to learn the basics (work in progress). He's smart and treat-motivated, though he can be a bit stubborn.
Unfortunately, he was never properly socialized and has a high degree of leash reactivity towards other dogs (fear reaction, according to a trainer). This makes walks a challenge and precludes taking him out in public for most outings, though he doesn't react negatively to friendly dogs he knows. He's not known to bite.
As a first-time dog owner with my own health issues, he's become too much for me to manage. He has a lot of potential, and would do well with an experienced dog-owner to complete his training and help him to gain confidence.
