Meet Django!
This bright two-year-old mixed breed with a sleek black coat and white accents is a curious and thoughtful companion. Django is about 50 pounds and has a knack for building deep bonds with his people, celebrating their return home with unmatched enthusiasm! He thrives on both connection and purpose, enjoying cuddles and leaning in for affection once he feels safe.
Django also has an adventurous spirit and loves toys of all kinds, especially for games of fetch. Walks, runs, and swimming are his jam, and he proudly carries a stick or ball as if it's his special job. His intelligence shines through in his love for training; he already knows many cues, including sit, stay, down, come, heel, place, leave it, drop it, no bark, and ok as a release cue. 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. An active family who understands reactive dogs and enjoys continued training will be a great fit.
Ongoing Health
Django takes daily Fluoxetine to help manage anxiety.
Training & Support
Django experiences fear-based reactivity with unfamiliar noises, unexpected distractions, or dogs on leash, requiring thoughtful management in public and a predictable routine. He has a history of resource guarding with food, toys, or personal space around other dogs, 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.
