About me Hello, I'm DJANGO! I'm a puppy with a heart full of joy and a spirit full of play. I love to run around and chase my tail, but I also know when it's time to sit and be good. I'm a bit of a goofball, but that's part of my charm. I can make you laugh with my silly antics and then melt your heart with my sweet puppy eyes. Life in the shelter is okay, but I dream of a home where I can share my love and happiness. If you're looking for a loyal friend who can bring joy to your everyday life, then I'm your pup! I’d do best in a home with Older Children 12+ My adoption fee is a bargain! Not only do you get my unconditional love and a new BFF, it includes my neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchip, and even some cool coupons!

Zoomy in yard, jumped up briefly on handlers, tended not to persist or impact too hard, refocused for treats/'find it', took a second for him to focus on the game but caught on fairly quickly.

| 04/04/2025 Dog regarded handler w/ furrowed brow, hunkered posture, whale eyed, ate tossed treats but would not approach, retreated through guillotine when handler opened kennel gate. Handler closed guillotine, lured leashing via jackpot and loop on ground. Once leashed he came right out, pulled ahead, circled around handler w/ hurried pace, offered soft eyes from beneath furrowed brow. Handler dropped leash in yard, dog spent a few minutes scenting/following nose along ground, handler opted to let dog approach when he was ready. After less than 5 minutes, dog regarded handler w/ soft eyes, lolling tongue, alert face/posture, loose neutral tail, took several bounding steps to approach and ran into handler in a light-to-moderate collision, loose-bodied & lolling tongue, did not seem to be a sincere attempt at maximum impact. Dog flopped against handler, leaning firmly against legs, allowing all petting & seeking additional, also at times grunting, whining or panting, ears occasionally briefly sweeping back, as well as pawing/lightly grasping, never fullly gripping nor seeming to be trying to, some minor scratches on arms. Dog would settle briefly from time to time, sit near or leaning against handler or lying nearby gnawing on collar hander had removed from around his neck. Handler reacquired leash w/ ease (dog readily brought it over), walked a lap on trail just outside main campus. Dog relieved himself, some wandering/circling as handler picked it up but other than that & minor occasional pull, dog seemed quite comfortable on leash. Back in yard, dog resumed same behaviors from earlier, now also awkwardly but fairly softly trying to clamber into lap and then balance once there, often unsuccessfully. A facilities crew member walked past yard at one point, did not get closer than approx. 15 ft. from fence, dog took 3 bounding steps toward (but did was still almost 20 ft. from fence), issued a few surprisingly deep, booming barks as he went, stopped on his own and monitored passage of pedestrian, then came back over to handler when softly called, resumed earlier loose, floppy aspect w/ brief moments of whining, ears sweeping back, etc. Handler also established that dog knows cue for 'sit.' Some soft interest in dogs on way back to kennel, flinched & hurried past those who barked at him. Went readily back into kennel, distracted w/ jackpot to prevent him coming back out. Recommend multiple handlers conduct mock M&G due to concerns noted w/ multiple handlers. |
