Potato - Schnauzer Dog

Shelter: BC SPCA - Shuswap Branch Animal ID: 548121 Birthdate: July 28, 2020 - Young Adult Spayed/Neutered: Yes Male Potato is a sweet and playful little guy who had a rough start to his young life. He will need to be in a solo dog home as he has some dog reactivity issues. Unknown with cats, and ideally no small children under 10yrs old. He has learned a lot in his few months since leaving Mexico, but he still has some work to do. He is a clever, kind and loyal companion who enjoys playing with toys, moderately active activities such as walks and short hikes. At the end of the day he loves to snuggle and relax with his human (if he's allowed, he never says no to some sofa or bed snuggles). He is a quick learner, loves his toys, he's learning to fetch and walks well on a leash. He is crate trained but is also happy to sleep with his humans. He had spent some time at a daycare too where he really enjoyed learning to socialize with other dogs at a distance for now. He can be distrustful of men; prefers women so far but with slow introductions and positive reinforcement he should adjust. Our staff can help you with that. This sweet loving boy is looking for his forever home, a fenced yard would be ideal, and lots of love to give him as he navigates his new life.
