For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
If you want some extra fun in your life, Owen may be the dog for you! He appears to be a hound mix, which shows through his love, loyalty, and voice! Owen’s favorite activities are cuddling, playing with his stuffed toys, and exploring the yard. He still has some learning to do, but he picks up tricks quickly and is very treat-motivated. He loves to show off his skills!
Owen is house-trained and crate-trained. He likes his crate, quietly stays in it when we are out of the house, and sleeps in it through the night. He is solid on his basic commands: sit, stay, come, down. He happily wants to join in on all of your activities. Owen was the only puppy in his first foster home, but is now in a foster home with 4 resident dogs (all older chill dogs). Since Owen does need more exercise, he goes on regular play dates with other playful dogs and is very social and appropriate with dogs.
Owen does experience an occasional limp with his back right leg. The vet believes that it is a neurological condition, as there is nothing physically wrong with his leg, and that the issue may go away with time. We think his mom may have stepped on him when he was a baby. As he has grown, he’s progressed greatly, and now slightly limps when he is tired or overexcited.
Owen can walk well on leash - and like many young dogs could still use some work! His limp tends to reappear after some time walking, although the timing varies. He doesn’t seem bothered by it. In fact, one of his favorite activities is running. He chases the lawn sprinkler and it’s hilarious! Owen loves riding in the car and jumps right in. On walks and in the car he can occasionally bark at something he sees, and this is easy to re-direct.
Owen eats his meals in the crate because he can resource guard (growl or snap over food or an object he’s stolen). His foster can teach you some simple techniques to reduce conflict and safely resolve any issues. Owen has done an awesome job learning “drop it” or to trade an object he’s guarding for a treat.
He loves to spend time outdoors, playing and exploring. Owen is very silly and makes us laugh every day with his puppy antics. He is an awesome companion. He would love to join your family!
