Male | 1 year old | 42 pounds | Medium energy | Good second dog | Hasn’t met cats | Limited interactions with kids | From Mexico | Fostered in Markham | Fun & playful | Building up confidence
Meet ADAL! Fun and playful when feeling his most confident self, ADAL is in search of a home to call his own. In just a matter of days, ADAL has quickly grown more comfortable in his foster’s home. Confidence is something they’re working on building up together, and it takes time.
Working through a few little fears, ADAL is a scruff who currently relies on his humans to feel like his safest self. He’s naturally curious about all that he sees, so we know that with his adoptive family continuing to advocate for him, he’ll grow into a confident scruff. For instance, he was initially nervous about leaving his crate, and now enjoys exploring the house AND is happy to go up and down stairs. Oh, and want to know a fun fact about him? This scruff does well at settling and will sleep just about anywhere!
Being curious, ADAL wants to meet new people. Setting him up for success is easily done if you let people know he prefers not to be patted right off the bat. Similarly, ADAL can get a bit nervous in situations where kids run up to him. To ensure a positive interaction, facilitating intros, where dog-savvy kids are advised to approach slowly, is best.
ADAL currently lives with a dog and would likely make a great companion to another confident dog already living in your home. He coexists well with other scruffs! His foster family has also found that introducing ADAL to new dog pals while out on pack walks or in the neighbourhood makes him feel most comfortable.
So. Keen to adopt this curious, fun, and currently-building-confidence scruff? Apply today!
