My story

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

Meet Bob Barker (A Little Character)
Bob Barker needed a bit of medical care when he arrived, which unfortunately put a groom on hold.

Bob had a respiratory infection that had to be resolved. Next up was the condition of his teeth, with some of the build up invading his gums and causing infection there as well.

As soon as his dental appointment is complete (funded by Pound Pals Downriver) this little man will be ready for his new life to begin! EDIT: Bob lost teeth in the double digits, and is now feeling great! He is ready for his new life!

A stray no one came for, Bob is estimated to be in the neighborhood of 8-10 years old. He can be quite loud when he feels it necessary and if we're being honest... a little bossy.

To know him is to love him though. He's a character. He can be selective about the other animals he likes, and might not be the best fit in cat households.

Be sure to check out our Facebook page at Wyandotte Animal Shelter (https://www.facebook.com/wacshelter/) for day to day updates on our cats and dogs. :)

Additional questions...

Does this dog get along with cats?

He can be selective about the other animals he likes, and might not be the best fit in cat households.

Does this dog react well to other dogs?

No dog loves every other dog, just as humans do not like every other human they meet. A proper introduction (meet and greet) would be required as part of our application process.

Is this dog good with children?

The better question is how the children have been taught to handle animals. A dog will respond negatively if he/she is not being handled properly. We can offer suggestions on how to teach children to interact with dogs and pay attention to body language. Young children should never be left unsupervised with new dogs.

How did this dog end up in a shelter?

The top reasons dogs are given up are:

Moving without considering the needs of the pets
Death of the owner with no plan in place for the pets
Previous owner did not provide appropriate training
Owner did not consider the lifespan of a dog
Owner did not consider the cost of providing for a dog
