Piccolo, a spirited mix of canine charm and curiosity, thrives on the perfect blend of mental and physical stimulation. His herding instincts find peace when engaged in playful antics with his foster mom's larger canine nephew. Even in the company of less playful pals, Piccolo showcases a keen ability to tune in and respond accordingly, demonstrating adaptability to different play styles. A social butterfly at heart, Piccolo eagerly wags his tail at the sight of other dogs, craving the companionship of an equally active playmate. While feline interactions remain uncharted territory, his foster mom speculates on his inclination to chase and herd them.
At 4 months old and currently tipping the scales at around 20 pounds, Piccolo is on track to become a medium to large charmer, though his final weight remains a mystery. While his genetic makeup is a tapestry of breeds, hints of Cattle Dog influence shine through in his herding tendencies and sharp wit. Moments of Jack Russell Terrier, Chihuahua, and Poodle-like behavior pepper his playful repertoire, particularly when he showcases his dancing prowess on his hind legs.
In his encounter with an 11-year-old neighbor, Piccolo initially displayed nerves but quickly warmed up, revealing his affectionate and playful nature. However, his herding instincts have begun to emerge, signaling a need for an owner who can channel his enthusiasm through positive reinforcement and engaging distractions. Considering his spirited play style, homes with children over the age of 10 are recommended.
While not a necessity, a fenced yard would be music to Piccolo's ears, providing him with ample space for frolics and fun. After a lively romp, he relishes snuggling next to his favorite human on the couch, toy in tow, ready for cherished bonding moments.
True to his musical namesake, Piccolo occasionally expresses himself vocally, making a home without shared walls an ideal setting for his symphony of barks and yips. Making strides in house training, he leans towards outdoor potty breaks and with consistent dedication, he will be well on his way to mastering this skill.
Piccolo eagerly awaits the opportunity to orchestrate a new chapter in his life filled with love, laughter, and boundless adventures. Could your home provide the perfect stage for this adorable maestro? Apply to adopt him today, with a minimum adoption fee of $350 plus a $15 fee for rabies registration for McLean County residents aged 4 months or older.
He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
