Urgent foster care needed!
I know, not a Dane!, but this really good dog desperately needs help.
I’d love to bring some attention to brilliant, energetic Dog the Bounty Hunter!
Lovingly referred to as Dog and Bounty!
Dog is an active, smart, loving neutered male Mal Mix that is 3 years old.
He has been at Placer County Animal Services in Auburn, CA for about 170+ days.
Dog is an incredibly brilliant (what Mal isn’t), active boy who would make a wonderful addition to any active home with a family experienced with Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds. While he is an active guy who requires mental stimulation, he is also a big lover who has no qualms snuggling up with his human!
Some fun tid bits about Dog is that he LOVES water and car rides! His favorite parts of his time in the shelter have been his Doggy Day Out’s (DDO’s) for trips to the river! Along with loving river water, he is a PRO at bath time!! He is very loyal to those who he has deemed his people and will recall when asked! He is a gentle boy who has allowed belly rubs from kids he’s met at shelter events and has always been very affectionate with the public, staff and volunteers! Dog is also a very potty-trained boy! He can and will hold it even in his “outside space” of his kennel unless absolutely necessary!
Other quirks to know about Dog is that with his incredible agility, he has learned how to hop even 6-foot fences! So what ever furever home he ends up at will need to ensure he is incredibly secure before being left alone! Another quirk is that Dog has, that is very common for the breed, is a very high prey drive! Dog seems to prefer the company of humans and is also a bit dog selective; however, he could potentially do well with a larger dog with proper, slow introductions.
Dog would ideally be best suited in an active home as an only dog with no small or farm animals with someone well versed in high-energy, working-breed dogs.
Volunteers with the shelter have pledged money to a rescue able to take Dog in.
We also have transport available within a few hours of Auburn, CA to get him to Foster.
