Meet Django!
This bright, two-year-old mixed breed is a medium-sized boy at about 50 pounds, with a sleek black coat and white accents. Django is a smart, active companion who builds deep bonds with his people, celebrating their return home with boundless enthusiasm. He's a dog who thrives on both connection and purpose, enjoying cuddles and cozy naps with trusted family members. His affectionate side truly shines once he feels comfortable and safe.
Adventure is equally important to Django! He absolutely loves toys and enjoys games of fetch with balls, sticks, and frisbees. Walks, runs, and even swimming are highlights for him, and he proudly carries a stick or ball, as if it's his special job for the day. His intelligence makes him eager to learn, and 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 training 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. He needs an active family who understands reactive dogs and enjoys continued training.
Ongoing Health
Django currently takes daily Fluoxetine to help manage anxiety.
Training & Support
Django experiences fear-based reactivity in certain situations, feeling uncertain around 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. 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!
