Story
Hi, my name is Cubby! I found myself running the streets with my best buddy, a small male terrier over 2 months ago. We hitched a ride to a place called a shelter. My buddy and I shared a kennel, and one day he left me, and I stayed by myself scared and confused. My rescue who is a senior dog rescue was asked to help me, even though I am a good boy no one wanted me, and I was going to be killed for something called "space". The rest is told by my rescue group and what they've learned about me and the type of forever home I need to be successful.
Cubby is truly a sweet little guy who has some training but admittedly still needs a family to continue what we've started. He's good on a leash, but let's be honest Cubby is young (under 2) and walking just isn't enough to get him tired! He needs an active family, who will play with him in a fully fenced in back yard (this alone will not tire him out) and go on adventures, he'd be an awesome running partner or hiking or any adventure he's up for! Cubby would do well with another well-balanced female or male dog his size or smaller. Cubby is scared of larger dogs, and we feel it's not a great fit for him. As with some dogs who have had limited training, can be (at times be leash reactive), he can be re-directed easily. Cubby does sit on command; we've been re-introducing his kennel to him. He does do well if left for a couple of hours and can be in a kennel in the car for up to 4 hours.
We've started feeding him in his kennel to help him associate "good vibes", we also place in his favorite toys. Cubby has not been destructive if left out, but we feel kennel skills are important especially for his well-being and in case of an emergency situation.
Cubby resides with 5 other mixed breed dogs at our foundation, and he's done well, we also very recently introduced a recent shelter pull (Shihtzu) who he plays with nonstop.
He wants to please and does do the "boxer talk-smack" he truly is a sweet dog who deserves his forever family. Please be an active family, children are fine over 10 years old as his energy sometimes is a bit full on. He does like to snuggle, so he would probably love a child to snuggle with. He is good with toys and food (can take away a toy or pick up food mid-stream). We feel we've mentioned everything we know thus far about this sweetheart.
He is housebroken and will go to our slider to let us know he needs to go out by turning a few circles. He does sleep through the night.
He's fully vaccinated, altered, fully vetted and microchipped.
Cubby loved the snow and isn't deterred by the cold or rain.
No dog parks please and a fully fenced yard would be preferred. We do not answer emails or phone calls, next step is an application, see our FAQ's for more information.
