Become enchanted with Magic!
Hi, friends! My name is Magic, and I'm a 4-year-old Terrier mix male, weighing in at 55 pounds. I'm told that I have the biggest heart, and I love being near people and other doggie friends. I have a foster doggie sibling who is calm and playful, and that suits me so much! I'm such a lover and have the goofiest personality. I've been working on my training and have been picking up cues very quickly. I'm a medium-energy type of guy and can get aroused by play and excited! I love enrichment puzzles, chews, and lick mats. I absolutely LOVE toys, and I can sit on the couch and shred them for hours.
Ideal Home
My ideal furever home would be one where I could give you all the love! After all, I aim to please, and all I want to do is be your shadow and snuggle up with you on the couch. I think having another calm but playful doggie sibling around would be really beneficial for me and my anxiety, especially one who's confident and respectful of my boundaries. I am not a fan of cats, and should not live with one. As for kids, a home with kids ages 10 years and older would be ideal. I would prefer an adults only home please.
Ongoing Health
I have been neutered and am in good physical health. I am working on keeping my anxiety levels under control. I tend to get very nervous in new environments. I can get spooked easily, but I am believed to gain confidence once I'm in a stable home and given time to come out of my shell at my own pace.
Training & Support
I'm good with potty training. Walking while on a leash is a work in progress, and I'm working hard on my crate training skills. I'm currently working on sitting, paws up, and some obedience commands. I am much more comfortable at home and learning to navigate the outside world. I would love a home where I have time to acclimate to a new living situation and being exposed to outside stimuli since I have stranger danger. I need time to trust and be confident and then I am golden. I have had a board and train with HeelHouseK9 and will have continued support with Halle post adoption.
