Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Characteristics: Wesley (also known as Wessie) is a loving, goofy and loyal boy. He loves hugs and cuddles, rolling in the dirt, and playing with his dog besties. We believe he is a bone-mouth sharpei mix due to his black tongue and gums. Wesley would make a great addition to any family, or just as someone's adventure buddy.
Background: Wesley grew up in a home, where he was eventually surrendered due to a baby being born in the family. There was an account of Wesley guarding the baby from the parent, although we don’t know exact details about the situation. Wesley has been shown to be protective of women, as well as female dogs in his time here at Como, but has never resource guarded a person in our care.
Current progress: Wesley has made so much progress here, from no interaction with other dogs previously, to now spending everyday with his dog best friends. He is still a little nervous meeting male dogs. He has responded very well to building his confidence, and is now non reactive, having calm interactions with strangers.
Cat tested: Can be tested.
Kids: All ages, meet and greet (can be nippy when playing).
On leash: Wesley is a puller, but receptive to corrections. We would recommend a front pull harness, which he is a lot better on.
Behavior concerns: Potentially playing rough with another dog in the home, or stress redirection. When playing, he can get nippy when overly excited (usually goes for pants).
Training receptiveness: Wesley has a great drive to please, and his breeds really make a great mix of a calm protector. He can take a little while to process things however, but is still very easy to work with when training.
When you adopt a dog from Como Animal Works, you are provided free boarding as a courtesy and comfort of the dog being familiar with our facility. We also provide free training sessions on-site or at the home while the dog is transitioning to home life. Our goal is to help keep dogs out of overcrowded shelters and provide much needed dog socialization during that time.

Pretty simple, we ensure dogs are going to good homes and the potential adopters understand all the needs of the dogs.
