Good with dogs, Needs special attention,

Story

Gunther is friendly, bright, alert and responsive. He is rescue only because he has bilateral entropion. He has hair loss on his ears that are consistent with fly strike. He came into the shelter as a stray. Notes from evaluator: Gunther overall appears to be a good boy. He is treat motivated and just needs someone to care for him. I think he would make a great companion once bonded to his human! Gunther was definitely interested in checking out his surroundings and not overly interested in me. He didn't respond when I tried to call him over and it was hard to tell if he actually has hearing issues or if his selective hearing game is strong. He is treat motivated and took treats gently. He is friendly and I didn't have any problems touching him or petting him, He looks like he was an outside dog as he has evidence of rough spots on skin and fly bites. Gunther walks well on a leash and does not pull. He kept his nose down the whole time but will come with a little encouragement. We did not get him out with any other dogs but we did walk him past a couple of other dogs in his same cell block. They were very quiet dogs but Gunther had no reaction. He has a full tail and it was alert and up but wagging when his nose met the other dogs nose through the fence. No apparent issues and may do well with other dogs with proper intros. Gunther does not have a deadline at this point but the shelter is a high kill shelter so he is definitely at risk.

Story

Cheddar is a confident, active, and playful puppy who’s always ready for his next adventure. He loves going on walks, playing with toys, and especially hanging out with other dogs—whether that’s at the dog park or out on neighborhood strolls. Cheddar is friendly and social, doing well with kids he meets on walks and at the park, though he hasn’t been formally tested in a home setting yet. He’s currently working on his housetraining and learning polite leash manners, and he absolutely delights in sniffing everything the world has to offer. With his long tail and happy energy, Cheddar is an easygoing pup who doesn’t need a fenced yard, a calm home, or an experienced owner—just someone ready to enjoy life, walks, playtime, and plenty of puppy joy alongside him. Cheddar is a Retriever mix who was was born approximately 6-1-25 and weighs 45 lbs (still has some growing to do). He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, given flea/tick preventative, dewormed, tested heartworm negative and started on heartworm prevention. Adoption fee is $450 to help offset the many expenses we have for vetting costs.
