Hi, my name is Big Boi! I'm a RED pawprint, which means I need an experienced home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:
-Personality: Energetic, exuberant, playful, friendly
-Can Live with Kids: Dog-savvy kids ages 12+
-Can Live with Cats: No, Big Boi has a prey drive
-Can Live with Dogs: No, he's undersocialized with dogs and will need to be the only canine in the home. He is not a dog that can go to dog parks.
-Can do Apartment Living: Potentially yes, with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Make sure to check for breed restrictions.
-Potty Trained: Yes
-Bite History: No
-Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Yes, one private lesson
-Energy Level: Medium
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes, a neuter
Additional Information:
Big Boi is a goofy, happy dog who would benefit from an adopter who has some level of breed experience. He seems to be a bit undersocialized with other animals and may not be the best candidate for dog parks or busy spaces with lots of other dogs. Big Boi has some allergies (this is super common for his breed) which may be dietary or environmental. It's pretty likely he'll need a special diet and potentially some vet visits to pinpoint the cause of his skin sensitivities.
If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
