Meet Pluto! Pluto is a friendly guy who has been calm hanging out in staff offices and had some nice play time with other dogs here at the shelter. He's an easy walker and has the cutest puppy dog eyes!
This is what a volunteer had to say about him when he went on a field trip: Pluto was a bit restless in the car, but did settle in once we were almost to the park. He did much better on the way back to the shelter. He was GREAT at the park. He was interested in all the passing dogs, but never aggressive or overly eager to approach dogs. He was easy to sit on the trail while we let people with dogs go by. He did sniff a few dogs, but that was after I could tell he was only mildly interested. A few dogs at the park barked and were reactive on leash as we walked by, but he did not react to it and just walked by. He walks with a loose leash most of the time and was really good. He is very gentle to take treats and sits when directed. Pluto is a great one!
