Slash is a big-hearted dog who is gradually coming out of his shell. He enjoys attention from people he trusts, playing with toys, walking on a leash, and sitting on laps. He loves playing with other dogs and did well running with a pack of Chihuahuas.

Ideal Home

Slash needs a patient family willing to give him time and space as he adjusts to new people and places. He can be a loud barker, especially through doors or at unfamiliar people, so an apartment-style home with shared walls is not recommended. He may benefit from a confident, social dog who can handle his rougher, mouthy play style. His comfort around children is unknown, and all household members should meet him before adoption.

Ongoing Health

Slash is vaccinated and neutered. No medical conditions were reported.

Training & Support

Slash will need time to learn house training and appropriate things to chew. Crate training while unsupervised may help him adjust to his new routine. He would benefit from someone who can spend time at home with him. Use positive, treat- or toy-based training to build his confidence and strengthen your bond. Introduce him slowly, allow him to choose when to interact, and consider offering treats to help him relax.

Application Details

• All members of the household should attend the adoption appointment to meet Slash and support a smooth introduction.
• Start by contacting the provider through Wags to arrange a meeting.
