My story

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

JR recently went on a Dog Day Out and here's what his DDO buddy had to say!

1st DDO:
"Meet JR!
Took him out today for a Doggie Day out and:
He loves loves being out in the woods. He is a good walker. Does the occasional sniff cause he is very curious but comes to as soon as you call him!

JR would be a fantastic buddy to anyone or any active family. He likes to get his hike on, but as you can see, he's also a beach bum.

He loved the coolness of the sand. Wasn't too sure about the water but would just hang out with you as you read a book or sunbathe.

He needs some help getting in the car but once in, he is ready to get to his destination! Even if that's just a pup cup!
This guy loves rubs and would probably be a fantastic snuggle buddy! We were out for adventure time today but his tail was a waggin and he was looking for loving when he could get it!

Great all around class act pupper!!"

2nd DDO:
"Meet JR! He's a very well behaved boy who's very affectionate! When you squat down to his level, he likes to rub up against you and push his full weight into you for as much love as possible! We went for a walk in the park today. He saw all kinds of animals and didn't pull on his leash once! He's very even-tempered and did a great job in public. He was pretty nervous about being in the car at first, but by the end of the day he was very calm and comfortable in the car. I think he'll get over his car anxiety quickly with more exposure.
- 4yrs old, 70lb
- great in public and very easy to walk
- friendly with everyone he meets
- non-reactive to passing dogs, squirrels, birds, etc.
- treat motivated
- nervous in the car but getting used to it!"

As always, we strongly recommend bringing any resident dogs to the shelter for a meet and greet with potential new family members to be sure it's a good match. If bringing a dog for a meet and greet, please bring proof of up to date rabies, bordetella, and DHPP vaccines.

To meet your future pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!
