Meet Django!
This handsome two-year-old mixed breed is a smart and active companion who forms deep bonds with his people. Django is about 50 pounds with a sleek black coat and white accents. He greets his favorite humans like they are the best part of his day!
Django is a dog who thrives with both connection and purpose. He loves to cuddle and lean in for affection, and he'll curl up for a nap near the fireplace once he feels safe and comfortable. But adventure is just as important to him! Django loves all kinds of toys and enjoys games of fetch. He also loves walks, runs, and swimming, often proudly carrying a stick or ball as if it's his special job.
His intelligence shines through in his love for training. Django already knows many cues like sit, stay, down, come, heel, place, leave it, drop it, no bark, and "ok" as a release cue. Positive reinforcement training keeps his mind engaged and happy.
Ideal Home
Django would thrive in a quieter, child-free, and cat-free home. He would likely do best as the only dog, with 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, such as 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 from an experienced pet parent. He also has a history of resource guarding with other dogs 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. With structure, exercise, and patient guidance, he continues to grow in confidence.
