Story
Meet Caleb – A Loyal and Intelligent Companion
* Gender: Male
* Age: 2 years
* Weight: 18 kg
* Breed: Shiba mix
Caleb’s story is one of resilience. He was abandoned in a park and brought to a shelter where he was placed on the euthanasia list before being rescued. Understandably, he feels a bit nervous in unfamiliar environments, likely due to the trauma of being confined at the shelter.
When Caleb first arrived at a training facility, he showed signs of caution and guardedness. However, within just a couple of hours, he began to approach willingly and happily accepted treats, eventually allowing himself to be petted. Over time, his affectionate and playful personality emerged. Caleb knows basic commands like "sit" and "paw" and responds well to people, showing a lively and eager-to-please demeanor once he feels comfortable.
Caleb gets along well with dogs of a similar size and enjoys playing with them. While occasional rough play can lead to minor disagreements, he responds immediately to verbal correction and stops the behavior. He also shows interest in smaller dogs and, with proper introductions, can coexist peacefully without any aggression. Caleb is a social dog who likes meeting new friends, greeting them with curiosity and sniffing before moving on.
Highly intelligent and eager to learn, Caleb would thrive with an adopter who can provide proper training and guidance. He has the potential to become a well-mannered companion with consistent discipline and structure. He’s resource-friendly, sharing treats without guarding them, and gets along well with both humans and other dogs.
On walks, Caleb follows his handler nicely without pulling, making him a joy to take out. While he shows no signs of aggression, he may do best as an only dog or in a household with another dog of a similar size for companionship.
Caleb is ready to find his forever home where he can continue to flourish with love, patience, and structure. Could you be the one to give him the life he deserves? 🐾💕
