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.
*** In order to alleviate the need to bring an animal into the shelter environment, The Anti-Cruelty Society has the Home-to-Home Shelter Bypass service to help people find new accommodations for their pets privately. These animals are not located in any of the Society's physical locations. If you are interested in adopting this animal, please do NOT click the Adopt Me button and instead reach out to the current owner directly via the email provided in the profile. As this is a Home-to-Home animal you are not required to fill out an Anti-Cruelty Society adoption application form. ***
The animal's behavior around other pets: He lives with another dog (a female pit-bull), and they get along for the most part. They play pretty intensely, and Harry can get a bit reactive, but he does initiate some of the play with her. If there are other dogs/humans that he does not know, he is also reactive (barking and lunging) to them.
The animal's behavior around children; Harry has always been super sweet to our children since they were newborns. When they don't mess with him too much, he is calm. When kids scream or get chaotic, he definitely feeds off that energy and gets a bit frantic. He does like to lick them a lot.
Any past or existing health issues that the animal has had; Harry has high anxiety that manifests in the form of barking and charging (NO BITING) and anxiety/excitement urination. He also chases shadows and bites at dust - a product of the anxiety. When people come into the house, he barks and charges but does not bite.
Any medication the animal may currently be taking; no current medication, but we have tried about 10 different anti-anxiety medications with Insight Behavioral Vet. We took him off of everything because the medications were actually making the excitement/anxiety urination worse. Otherwise, he is fully house trained, and clearly cannot control when the excitement urinates. He never poops in the house.
Any dietary restrictions that the animal may have; none
The animal's training history (especially whether or not the animal is housebroken); We have worked with a one-on-one trainer in the past, but the trainer had said that his anxiety needed to be managed by medication first. Other than his excitement/anxiety peeing, he is completely housebroken and knows 'sit." I believe he is capable of much more, but with 3 children, we are unable to offer him more.
He needs a much quieter home with no children and someone who can devote at least 2-3 walks a day to him. He is so super sweet, with no bite history, just very on edge and noisy with a busy home. He is a big cuddler and just a total floof in your arms when he is getting 100% of the attention.
