Meet Django!
This handsome two-year-old mixed breed is a smart and active companion who builds deep bonds with his people. He's about 50 pounds with a sleek black coat and white accents, and a thoughtful face that's always watching the world with curiosity. Django celebrates your return home like it is the best moment of the day! He loves to cuddle and lean in for affection, often curling up for a cozy nap when he feels comfortable and safe.
Django also thrives on adventure and loves toys of every kind! Balls, sticks, frisbees – anything that can be tossed for a game of fetch quickly becomes his favorite treasure. He enjoys walks, runs, and even swimming, and proudly carries a stick or ball during walks as if it's his special job. His intelligence shines through in his enjoyment of training and learning. He already knows many cues, including sit, stay, down, come, heel, place, leave it, drop it, no bark, and ok as a release cue. Practicing these skills with positive reinforcement keeps his mind engaged and happy.
Ideal Home
Django would thrive in a quieter, child-free and cat-free home, likely as the only dog. He needs an active family who understands reactive dogs and enjoys training.
Ongoing Health
Django currently takes daily Fluoxetine to help manage anxiety.
Training & Support
Django experiences fear-based reactivity in certain situations, feeling uncertain around unfamiliar noises, unexpected distractions, or dogs encountered on leash. He requires thoughtful management in public and benefits from a predictable routine and continued behavior support. He also has a history of resource guarding with another dog around food, toys, or personal space, and there was one minor nip incident involving an unfamiliar person. Meeting guests outside first and allowing him to warm up helps him feel secure.
