NAME: JON VOIGHT AGE/GENDER: 8 YEARS OLD/MALE NEUTERED BREED: TERRIER MIX (POSSIBLY YORKIE MIX?) TEMPERAMENT: Sweet, a little shy with strangers, affectionate WEIGHT: 12ish lbs HOUSE TRAINING: Good on a consistent schedule. CRATE TRAINING: Sleeps in his crate at night but loves to be with his people. OTHER DOGS: Good with other dogs his size and larger dogs who aren't pushy. It's more the vibe than the size for him. He is not going to appreciate high energy puppy vibes. He's more chill. But he doesn't really care for the dogs and merely tolerates them. While he will upon occasion engage with another dog, he's more focused on his people. CATS: He doesn't really care about the cats in the foster home. CHILDREN: Dog-respectful children, 8 and older ADOPTION DONATION: $450 HEALTH: Jon is neutered, had a recent dental, microchipped, flea treated, dewormed, and is current on vaccines. Your adoption donation goes toward offsetting the cost of this vet care as well as other incidental costs of care. HISTORY: Sadly, Jon's previous owner passed away and no one in the family wanted to take the little guy. Rather than having him go to a shelter, a CA rescue got involved and transported him here to WA to find a new family. Motley Zoo Animal Rescue was asked to find JON a great forever family and that is exactly what we plan to do! NOTES FROM FOSTER HOME: Ah, Jon. What a little sweetheart. He did have an elderly owner so is quite used to having someone all to himself so can be a little bit needy in the sense that he wants to be with his people more often than not . While he tolerates the other dogs in the home, he merely shares their space and only has eyes for his people. He is initially a shy boy. He hid in his crate when he first got into his foster home but after observing and seeing everyone was cool, even the smelly teenager, he decided the crate life wasn't for him. That day he found his voice and let everyone know he wanted to be part of the family. While initially nervous of people, he will jump into sitting laps and give kisses. People standing he will avoid until he really gets to know you. He is also leery of men initially which is odd as his former owner was male. However, he does do well with the man of the household currently, gives kisses and loves to hang on the bed. He's found his new BFF. However, as he's only been used to one owner and is a little terrier mix, he does have some resource guarding of his people. This means that when he's with his person, he will guard them. Even if he knows the other person in the home! This shouldn't be tolerated and Jon is easily corrected; however, he has to be corrected. Otherwise he will growl and even nip others when protecting his person. So in his foster home, Jon will protect his foster dad from his foster mum who he loves when foster dad is at work. Jon will also protect his foster mum from his foster teenager who he sleeps with when she's doing homework. This is easily corrected but unfortunately is something to be aware of and to not tolerate. Jon is not allowed to resource guard anyone in his foster home but he is still learning, so this is a tendency that may manifest in a new home. Otherwise he's a pretty easy guy as long as he's not allowed to get too big for his britches. Jon came from a quieter household and so a busy home with many visitors may be overwhelming for him. This is easily rectified by putting him in a crate when throwing a party. He'll appreciate that, being the party police kinda guy that he is. People need to give him a little time and space to acclimate. I get it, he's a really cute guy... but not on the first date! All dogs adopted from Motley Zoo come with a leash and Martingale collar (or a harness, if necessary), depending on each dog's particular needs. Each dog also receives a "Tour Gear Bag" full of brochures, coupons, and supplies for your new pup! ABOUT MOTLEY ZOO: Welcome to Motley Zoo Animal Rescue! We are a rock and roll themed, volunteer-run, foster based, 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization based in Redmond, WA. Motley Zoo is a FOSTER BASED organization, which means our rescue animals are cared for in private foster homes (or partnering pet stores) where the animals receive one-on-one care and attention in a home environment until permanent placement is found. We do not have animals available for casual viewing and same day adoption. Due to the volunteer run structure and decentralized/ virtual nature of a foster based group, an approved application is required to make an adoption appointment for any of our animals. If you are interested in one of our Adoptable Roadies, please email adopt@motleyzoo.org and request an adoption application (the auto-responder also has a link to our application). We will work toward getting you approved as an adopter so that we can set a time for you to meet your new best friend! Motley Zoo also runs "Rock Star Treatment Dog Daycare" in Redmond, WA where proceeds from this service, help support our rescue's vet budget- however, this is NOT a shelter. For more information about daycare or training, check out www.rockstartreatment.org. Please visit our website www.motleyzoo.org for more information! Thanks for considering adoption- we look forward to helping you find your best match in a furry friend. Rock on- The Motley Zoo Crew June 1, 2023, 8:35 pm
