Davey

Description

This dog is part of our shelter outreach program where we take dogs from overcrowded shelters in hopes of finding them a forever home here! We generally do not have much background info on them and cannot guarantee they are housebroken.  They are all up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Davey is a 1-year-old, 17-pound mixed breed with a unique look that has everyone guessing. We see a little Chihuahua, possibly some Jack Russell Terrier or Boston Terrier, but whatever his breed mix may be, Davey is a handsome young dog with a lot of potential. Davey can be shy and nervous when meeting new people and needs time to build trust. Once he feels comfortable, his sweet and affectionate personality shines through. He enjoys being with his people and forms strong bonds with those who are patient and understanding. As a young dog, Davey has above-average energy levels and will thrive with an active family committed to providing regular exercise, training, and structure. He is still learning about the world and will benefit from continued positive reinforcement training to help build his confidence. Davey gets along well with other dogs and may be able to live with cats that are accustomed to dogs, as he has shown little interest in them. Due to his shy nature, he is seeking a home with children ages 14 and older who can respect his need for time to adjust. A home with a securely fenced yard is preferred, giving Davey a safe space to run, play, and burn off energy. With patience, consistency, and love, Davey will make a wonderful companion for someone willing to help him continue growing into the confident dog we know he can be.
