A little about them

Alder is a shy but friendly 3-year-old gentleman who came to us from Texas. He is eager to show his excitement but isn't quite sure how. He craves affection and attention, and we suspect he'll master the Pyr paw in no time! Alder doesn't know how to play with dogs yet but seems interested. He is a bit protective of his food, so he'll need to be fed separately from other dogs. Alder doesn't seem to mind cats and would likely do well in a home with children beyond the "screeching years."

Ideal Home

An ideal home for Alder would include a calmer, playful dog to help him come out of his shell. While a fenced yard is ideal, he walks well on a leash, making a home without one acceptable as long as his adopters are committed to daily walks. He will not stay close to home if let outside unsupervised.

Ongoing Health

No specific ongoing health concerns are mentioned in his description.

Training & Support

Alder is a bit protective of his food, so he will need to be fed separately from other dogs. With patience and affection, he is expected to adapt well to a loving home.
