My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Turkey is an energetic and social young dog who enjoys being around people and seeks attention through playful behaviors like jumping, licking, and leaning in. He is highly sociable, eagerly approaches when called, and can be calm during soft handling. However, he has some challenges with impulse control, often displaying social hyperarousal by jumping up and becoming overexcited in stimulating environments. He also struggles with anxiety, likely aggravated by the shelter's stressful atmosphere, and needs a calm, structured environment to thrive.

Turkey would do best in a home without young children, as his lack of basic manners and tendency to react impulsively can lead to inappropriate behaviors like jumping or mouthing. An active household with experienced owners who are committed to positive reinforcement, force-free training will help him learn impulse control and manage his excitement. With continued training and patience, Turkey will make a loving companion, especially for someone willing to help him work through his anxieties and guide him with consistency and care.
