Story

Echo Age: 2 years Sex: Neutered male Breed: Maltese/Terrier mix Color: White Weight: 9.1 kg (20 lbs) Height: 38 cm (15 in) Echo is deaf (he cannot hear). He relies on visual cues and human guidance, and stays very attentive to his person. Rescue Story: Echo was rescued from an animal hoarding situation where over 230 dogs were being kept. Human Socialization Echo is a very affectionate and friendly boy. He approaches both familiar people and strangers, rubs against them, and enjoys being petted. He likes both men and women and does well with children under 13 (he simply shows little interest). He is comfortable being picked up, and once he bonds with you, he loves showing his belly for rubs Dog Socialization Echo is friendly with both familiar and unfamiliar dogs and happily goes up to greet them. He doesn’t quite know how to “play properly” yet and mostly just runs around excitedly. He is not afraid of larger dogs, though he usually prefers dogs of similar size. If another dog provokes him, he tends to avoid conflict and gets along well without issues. After playtime, he usually likes to rest in his own quiet space. Cats His reaction to cats has not been observed yet, but a cat test can be arranged. Energy Level Low energy. Echo is a calm dog who enjoys relaxing and resting most of the time Walks Echo only recently started going on walks, so he is still learning to explore and sniff around. However, he walks nicely without pulling and follows his human well. Since he is deaf, he relies heavily on visual cues and tends to stay close and attentive to his handler. Other Behaviors Echo does not resource guard food with either people or dogs and is not particularly food-motivated. Because he was born and raised among many dogs, he has some baseline separation anxiety. When first placed in a new environment—especially since he is deaf—he may feel anxious if he cannot see his person. In the past, he showed behaviors like scratching walls, the floor, or tearing pee pads. However, once he adjusts, he becomes very relaxed, sleeps well, and can stay alone comfortably. He rarely barks and is currently doing both indoor pee pad training and outdoor potty. Foster History • First foster home: About 2 weeks. No howling when left alone, but scratched at closed doors. • Second foster home: About 1.5 months. Did well staying alone. • Current: Staying at the AKR Center. Echo is a gentle, quiet, and loving soul. He may need a little patience during the initial adjustment period, but once he feels safe, he becomes an incredibly easy and calm companion who just wants to stay close to his person.

Disposition: A kind, gentle dog who gets along well with other dogs. She doesn’t bite and generally enjoys companionship, though she tends to prefer attention on her own terms.

Likely to do well in homes with respectful, gentle pets. Background: Originally adopted a couple of months ago. Her current family became unable to care for dogs due to pregnancy and a newborn, but she deserves a loving, 4everhom
