Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Courage!
Available for adoption through Guilford County Animal Services
Male
Petite boxer mix
5 months old
23 lbs
Crate trained
Good with dogs
Treat and toy motivated
Courage was brought in as a stray. He's now being fostered and we are gaing insight to help find his match. He's slowly coming out of his shell as he regains trust in people. Right now, Courage doesn't care for the leash, but we are working on desensitizing him. I expect him to be very gentle once we get him walking on a leash. For this reason, his best match would have a fenced area directly attached to his new home. While he can be carried, he would adjust more quickly if he doesn't have to be carried out to potty. While Courage has maintained a spotless crate enjoying a nice dog bed without tearing it up, he's still working on house training. He will use pee pads in two places we made available in two rooms for accidents. He has pretty good aim and you can tell he doesn't like a messy area because he'll fold them up if you don't get the soiled pads up fast enough. Courage doesn't poop inside, but is working on holding his pee after playing inside. Potty breaks about every 20 minutes when playing and hourly when sleeping outside the crate in his gated room keeps pee pads from being used. He can hold it 4 hours during the day and 9 hours overnight in the crate with no messes.
Courage loves pestering his doggy foster sisters. He is relatively good at reading their cues, but may need a person to help him settle occasionally. It's easily done because he loves toys and treats! He's also starting to enjoy a good pet and snuggle with his person. They just have to prove they are nice, gentle, and can be trusted.
As always, we strongly recommend bringing any resident dogs to the shelter for a meet and greet with potential new family members to be sure it's a good match. If bringing a dog for a meet and greet, please bring proof of up to date rabies, bordetella, and DHPP vaccines.
If you would like to meet Courage please reach out to his foster Pawrent at 336-508-7229!
