Story
Characteristics: Achilles is a eager, loving, and loyal boy. He absolutely loves hoses, and chasing lizards. He would be content with a quiet home, or minimal exercise, although he is a shepherd mix. He would love to be around water or have access to swimming. Background: Achilles came to us through our foster program with Pinal county. He was on the priority foster list due to having a bite record from his previous surrender. The circumstance of the bite was unknown, but assumed to be from a loud noise scaring him or being aggressed by the previous owner. Due to changes in the Pinal county insurance policy, we have adopted Achilles to avoid euthanasia. Current progress: Achilles came to us with stranger danger, assumably from shelter stress. He has made a lot of progress interacting with new people as well as dogs. He is still hyper-sensitive to noises and movements, but has learned how to interact with that stress appropriately. Achilles has also undergone basic obedience classes, and is crate trained. Cat tested: Not recommended (prey drive) but can be tested. Kids: Older children with meet and greet only. On leash: Minor pulling on leash, very receptive to training. Behavior concerns: With his hyper-sensitivity, loud noises and fast movements should be limited in the home while he is transitioning to home life. He will most likely need a structured process to introducing strangers in the home at first to be more comfortable. Training receptiveness: High food drive, minimal toy drive. He has been very easy to work with in training and is easy to leave it when barking, even with the hose, which is his favorite. He is eager to please, especially if you are his person. When you adopt a dog from Como Animal Works, you are provided free boarding as a courtesy and comfort of the dog being familiar with our facility. We also provide free training sessions on-site or at the home while the dog is transitioning to home life. Our goal is to help keep dogs out of overcrowded shelters and provide much needed dog socialization during that time.
