Story
Meet Guapo 🐶 He is a one year old high energy dog with a big heart and loving personality 💙 He loves pets and attention, going to day care, as well as playing fetch. He is very obedient, crate and house trained. He has trouble with his leash manners as well as learning not to jump when he is exited to see people he loves. He is great with kids that are older, due to him still learning not to jump. He is okay with cats but with his high energy it has taken my cats longer to warm up to his playfulness. He will do amazing with someone who can continue his basic leash training and manners and will provide him with lots off attention 💙

Story
How this pet arrived: Dodger was brought in by his previous owner on June 4, 2024. Why Dodger is the one for you:Meet Dodger! This adorable pup takes some time to warm up to new people and situations, but once he feels comfortable, his infectious smile is all yours! Dodger is an active boy and is looking for somebody to go on adventures with. He isn't the biggest fan of being left alone, and much prefers having someone around to keep him company. Dodger has a positive history with other dogs, but isn't a fan of sharing his food. This behavior is referred to as resource guarding and will need to be managed (feeding separated by a barrier, not leaving edible items out). This smart boy is bilingual, is crate trained, knows how to "sit" and would love to learn new tricks! Due to his "stranger danger," Dodger requires a patient family without young children (under 10). All household members must be present to meet this sweet boy. If you're ready to give Dodger the loving family he deserves, head over to our Oceanside campus today!
