My name is DAVE (THURMAN*)!

Thurman Munson was a famous catcher for the New York Yankees who won Rookie of the Year. Rookie of the Year is awarded to two outstanding players in the entire league each season. Even though he now goes by the name Dave, PACC’s Thurman is on our shortlist for our Rookie of the Year, based on his recent volunteer and staff notes!

“First time meeting Thurman and he`s already one of my favorites! He was easy to leash and leave the kennel area and walked well on leash to the yard. Initially he walked around, did his business, stayed independent. After a few minutes he came over for attention and was such a sweet boy. He really loved neck scratches and I also was able to scratch/pet his entire body. He was calm sitting next to me, mouth open, tongue out, soft eyes. He also was very tolerant of his rowdy kennel mate who would bulldoze into him and also interrupt our snuggle sessions. Wonderful dog, I love this boy already!!!”

“I took Thurman out for a quick walk. He was excited to see me approach his kennel. I was able to easily leash him and take him to the park without any issues. He`s interested in smells and was very friendly and receptive to pets when I sat down at a bench. He was easy to leash and handle and enjoys smells.”

Dave aka Thurman spent two weeks in a home where he was reportedly housebroken and well- behaved when left home alone. He was described as affectionate and playful and he enjoyed hiking, toys, and being near his person. Dave was also reportedly crate trained, which will be a great tool in his future home. He can be wary when meeting new people at times, so a crate will provide him with a safe and secure place of his own to spend time in when strangers stop by.

Dave has shared his kennel with a variety of furry friends and has been social and tolerant when meeting other dogs in playgroup. Don’t let the season pass before coming to meet your new MVP- Dave aka Thurman!
