My name is Bozler!

*** AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, FOSTER, or FOSTER TO ADOPT ***

Meet Bozler! He is currently enrolled in our P.A.C.K. Program, a 9-week intensive program for routine obedience, agility, and handling training with a prison inmate trainer and he is almost ready to show off his new skills! His new abilities include 'sit', 'down', 'shake' and more! New adopters should realize that PACK Program graduates will require regular, ongoing reinforcement of learned behaviors in order for them to become permanent.

Bozler is a lover, once he gets to know you. He's a dog that takes some warming up, and it seems to be on his own timeline. Sometimes he loves attention and affection, and other times he can be a bit aloof and independent. We do think that once he knows who is family is, he'll bond well with them. He is unsure of himself with other dogs. He can be around them, he's just still learning how to play. He does better with female dogs, and tends to get grouchy towards other male dogs.

He has come a long way with his training, and in the past four weeks his stubborn streak has lessened. He wants to learn new tricks and please his people more. We do think this is just from his confidence getting better each and every day.

One thing Bozler cannot go home with are cats! He does not like them at all! He can also be a bit sensitive to handling and proceeds with caution from time to time. Due to this, we reccommend no kids under 10 in his new home.

He is potty trained and kennel trained. His handler says he doesn't get into any trouble when he is left out of his kennel either. He gets a 10/10 rating in this category!

Bozler really just needs someone to understand his emotions. Sometimes he wants to be a cuddle bug, and sometimes he wants to be left alone. He will graduate towards the beginning of November, and is looking for that perfect new home. Apply today.
