Dunkan

Dunkan was on “the list” at the shelter along with his buddy Breckan. With the shelter euthanizing dogs for lack of space, we had to act quickly to get them to safety.

Dunkan had an extended outing for photos and videos and a pup cup! Thanks to our volunteer who took him out from boarding, we have good info about him:

• Personality: Easygoing, incredibly sweet, gentle energy, loves ear scratches and following people around.
• Crate Training: Is learning quickly.
• Potty Training: Fully potty trained.
• Training: Understands “off” (for counter surfing), doesn’t know basics yet, great on leash – doesn’t pull; very timid with putting on the harness.
• Socialization: Timid in new environments (tail tucked, hides behind handler), warms up with time and reassurance, startled by common noises & movements.
• Activity Level: Plays, then settles on his own; enjoys being outside. Chases dragging leash, enjoys toys (thrashing them), uses his nose constantly. Enjoys bully sticks and Kongs. Can be mouthy when excited, needs supervision around young children. Chews on everything!
• Dog Interactions: Fearful at first, then does well with supervised greetings and play.
• Car Behavior: Rides very well (sleeps), needs help getting in/out, scared of open car door initially.
• Overall: Sweet, loving, wants to be close, able to adjust to new environments, wants to be somebody’s best friend!
