My name is Penguin!

*** AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, FOSTER, or FOSTER TO ADOPT ***

Meet Penguin! He recently graduated our P.A.C.K. Program, a 9-week intensive program for routine obedience, agility, and handling training with a prison inmate trainer and he is almost ready to show off his new skills! His new abilities include 'sit', 'roll over', 'shake' and more! New adopters should realize that PACK Program graduates will require regular, ongoing reinforcement of learned behaviors in order for them to become permanent.

Penguin's PACK program was cut short due to getting a small hairline fracture in one of his front legs. We are not sure how this happened, but thankfully he should make a full recovery with lots of rest and pain management! He has been just the BEST boy due his PACK time though.

Penguin has shown no fear or hesitation in any situation at PACK. Once he was able to release his energy (he was pent up from being in a shelter) he has calmed down and proved he deserves his "good boy" status.

When Penguin meets other dogs, he can come on a little strong. He is getting better at appropriately meeting others, but still barks at them from time to time to get their attention and get them engaged.

His handler said his qualities for adoption are a list a mile long. He is an extremely loving dog with a quirky personality. He seems to have a wonky smile (weird genetics most likely), so his jaws a little off and goofy. This just adds to his uniqueness. His tongue sticks out to the side of his mouth more often than not. He lets out a cute "booooowooooo" in the morning while he stretches, almost like he's saying "good morning!".

While he loves people and likes other dogs, Penguin does not care for cats. He'll need a home that does not have any cats, and does not plan to get any in the future.

He was in a shelter way too long before PACK, and we'd love to see him get the home he so deserves! Apply to meet him today!
