Sheriff Coltrane

Sheriff Coltrane is a friendly and inquisitive dog who walked well on a leash and enjoyed exploring the shelter grounds. He showed some reactivity towards other dogs, but was calm around the dog he arrived with. Initially, he was indifferent to staff during walks, but stayed by their side indoors. Although Coltrane was hesitant to let staff take his food dish, he was tolerant of being handled while eating. He knew the cue "sit" and was responsive to redirection. He was fearful of an umbrella at first but overcame this with treats. Coltrane was easily distracted during husbandry handling, but would return when called, and was gentle when he jumped up to rest his paws on staff. He was enthusiastic during playtime, especially with tennis balls and plush toys. Coltrane's initial greeting towards a stranger was overly excited, but he calmed down with proper handling. While he initially barked when introduced to another shelter dog, he eventually settled and engaged in a more positive interaction. Sheriff Coltrane will need to be neutered before his adoption can be finalized.
