Likes: Treats, toys, watching the world go by from the living room window
Dislikes: Being handled/touched too much, the car but settles once he’s in
What would be the ideal home? A home that is active and has the time to work with Radar to overcome his fears and show him the outside world isn’t scary. Radar needs a lot of attention to help keep him properly physically and mentally stimulated. Radar is very smart and loves playing with his humans.
Good with other cats? Unknown
Good with dogs? Radar is still learning about other dogs and can be very excited when meeting them. With proper introduction, he might do well with a dog sibling to help keep him busy and learn how to dog. Radar can be “a bit much” for some dogs.
Good with children? Not recommended for kids under 14
Temperament: Active, smart
Motivators? treats
Any commands? Sit, down, spin, come, back up, look (focus his attention on you)
House trained? Almost. Still has some accidents
Crate trained? Yes
How long will it take to settle into a new environment? 3-3-3 rule: First 3 days - Your dog may be overwhelmed and may hide, have a lack of appetite, or test boundaries. Give them space and time to adjust in a quiet room with their bed, food, water, and toys. 3 weeks - Your dog may start to settle in and their personality will emerge. You can expect behavior issues to arise, so set boundaries and expectations with positive reinforcement training. 3 months - Your dog should be comfortable and acclimated to your home. They should know their routine and expect meals and enrichment at specific times.
Any special needs or traits an adopter should know? Radar has some defense behaviors such a mouthing so needs someone who understands how to help Radar overcome these behaviors or work with a force free trainer.
