My name is Shot Put!

Meet Shot Put!

12-year-old Shot Put was rescued from the streets of Tijuana and then lived in a foster home before becoming a Frosted Face on July 18th. He is such a sweetheart! He is so friendly, loves attention, and gives kisses. He is doing great in a play group with several of our other dogs.

Shot Put enjoys going on our weekly FFF hikes, and he is described by volunteers as a perfect hiking buddy. He is great on leash and is unbothered by other dogs around him.

Shot Put went on a two-week Frosted Fling, so we could learn what he is like in a home. His Fling Mom reports:

"Shot Put is a great dog in many ways!

*Rides well in the car
*No accidents or attempts to mark in the house
*Good appetite but doesn't beg at all
*Walks well on a leash
*Doesn't appear to have any problem being alone; is usually sleeping when I return
*Sleeps quietly through the night
*No food aggression; gave him a buffalo chew and took it away from him when he was half way through with no struggle.
*Doesn't get on furniture, even with my encouragement
*Barks at passersby, and since I live alone, I consider this a positive!

Shot Put start walks pretty energetically. His energy doesn't really last unless there's another dog ahead of us, and then he goes quite fast! I took him for a long walk in the mornings and then two shorter walks later in the day. The rest of the day Shot Put was super mellow, only getting up for a drink or to bark at passers by.

Lots of people were taken with Shot Put and wanted to pet him, and he was always kind, but not always interested. It was like he could take it (the attention) or leave it.

Shot Put is a super sweet, handsome hunk! He is physically strong and strong-willed, so he just needs the right person to handle his size and be able to make the right decisions regarding him and other dogs to keep them all safe and successful."

Shot Put is back on-site and ready for a forever home. Stop by any day of the week between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm to meet this wonderful boy!
