ADOPTION PENDING
Breed: Shepherd/Husky/Yellow Lab mix
Gender: Female
Age: Around 2 yrs.
Weight: 63 lbs and needs 5+ lbs more.
Size: Large (taller/longer than my male Husky)
Status: Vaccinated but not spayed or chipped
History: Stray from Eukiah Shelter
Personality: Social butterfly with people, leaner, kisser, talker, friendly and super-sweet. Great with kids. Good on leash, knows “sit”, needs recall and “off” work, is a counter surfer. Tinker is smart and the Shepherd in her is easy to train, very treat-motivated.
Housebroken: Yes
Crate-Trained: Don’t know
Escape-Arist: No
Digger: No
Chewer: Low
Cats: Don’t know
Other Dogs: Great with my male Husky and comfortable with a group of dogs that she’s been introduced to slowly, but not good in a dog park. In a dog park she is timid and afraid, gets ganged up on easily and will roll over for all dogs. Fear aggression makes her bark at all dogs when she is on leash and she will not back down on her own without strong command and yanking on collar.
Car-Rides: No problems, sticks head out.
Energy-Level: Medium. Mostly quiet in the house with one long walk or play session in park after work with my dog and short around-the-block walk before work plus outings to Fort Funston on weekend. I work full-time and she’s fine with the exercise described above.
Indoor/Outdoor: Comfortable either location, loves to sleep overnight on my bed with my Husky and me. She does well with dog door access to back-yard and decides on her own. She sometimes sleeps separate from my Husky and me so not at all clingy.
Coat: Sheds like a Husky so needs daily grooming.
General: Awesome and sweet dog that needs confidence-building, socialization, and basic obedience-training. I think she would be happiest with an active family with kids. She also listens extra well to men so may work nicely 1:1 if active male, or a couple where the man will mostly handle the dog. I don’t think Tinker will need a second dog in the house, she primarily wants her own human family, but a previous dog would be fine too, if needed.
