Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Wapiti!Wapiti is a playful, affectionate coonhound/pointer mix with striking good looks and a personality to match. Weighing about 60 pounds and born around January 1, 2024, this young pup is ready to find his forever family. Named after the Shawnee word for white rump elk, Wapiti was found near Elk Creek Lakeand like his namesake, hes a graceful jumper. He can easily clear a 3-foot gate with ease, so a home with a 5-foot fence would be best. He would love to have a canine companion to run and play with in the yard. Wapiti is an active dog who would thrive with a family that enjoys walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime. Hes also a big fan of belly rubs and couch cuddles, striking a great balance of energy and affection. Smart and eager to please, hes learning his manners and already knows how to sit, come, and lay downhis version of lying down includes a slow, charming slide to the floor. He also has a distinct, endearing howl when he spots squirrels or rabbits. Wapiti gets along best with a submissive dog, as he can be a bit Alpha with toys and bones. He does well with cats in his foster home, though he may chase them when bored. He passed his first visit to doggie daycare with flying colors. While hes not yet a fan of car rides or being crated, his foster family is helping him build confidence through gentle desensitization. Like most young pups, Wapiti enjoys chewing, so a good supply of sturdy chew toys and natural chews is a must. Wapiti is neutered, microchipped, crate trained, and up to date on vaccines. If youre looking for a loyal, active companion with a gentle heart and a goofy grin, Wapiti may be the perfect match.
