My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dog Day Out Reports from week of October 20th.

Today was awesome! I got to go on Doggie Day Out after being in the shelter since April. My new friend took me on a nice long walk around a lake and on a busy trail with lots to see and smell. I am polite and don’t bark at dogs or wildlife although I’m very curious about them! After a nice long walk, I got to explore a pet store with lots of yummy smells. My friend then surprised me with tasty doggie ice cream!

Three Words to Describe Me are: Affectionate, Friendly, Attentive

Notes from My Walker: I had such a great day with Miguel! He is an overlooked gem! When we first met, he was a ball of energy coming straight from his kennel but, when I kneeled down, he leaned up against me which made putting on the harness easier. As soon as we exited the building, he showed off what a good boy he really is!

Miguel walks nicely on the front clip harness with only mild pulling. He’s a very attentive, affectionate boy. He hopped right into the car, but preferred to stand and sniff out the window. When we exited the car, he sat on his own and waited patiently for me to get my backpack ready. I was impressed! We walked along the Almaden Lake Trail and the connecting Los Alamitos Creek Trail. The trail was busy with lots of people, runners, bicyclists, dogs, and geese and Miguel was the goodest boy! He is a curious, social boy and would like to meet everyone but doesn’t bark and passes everyone politely. He was very interested in the geese at first but then passed them nicely after the initial newness wore off.

Miguel checks in often with his walker which is incredible to see. He’s treat motivated and knows sit. He’s affectionate and loved to give kisses and lean against me every time I knelt down to offer him water. He got lots of compliments about what a nice, handsome boy he is!

Miguel is social with people and dogs (at the shelter, he participates in doggie playgroups) and would make a great companion!
