π Intake date 5/7, owner surrender with two other dogs, unable to afford basic care
π Big Pun is very shy, and it took some time to get him out of his kennel and through the shelter to get outside, but he did it!
π His owner described him as playful with other dogs, independent, and good with strangers. No known interactions with cats.
π Greeted us with a waggy tail at his kennel and was calm when I went inside. He was happy to take treats and even eat them gently from my hand.
π We had to pick him up to put him in the car, but he was totally fine with that. Great car rider, just laid in the backseat.
π He is a beautiful boy with a brindle coat and golden eyes. β¨
π He is the ultimate lovebug, leans into you, puts his head in your lap, once he gets comfortable.
π Even though he is shy, he calmly received pets from everyone who stopped by to meet him, including little kids.
π Happily laid his head on the laps of people sitting near us multiple times.
π We had many dogs around us at the brewery, and he was interested, just looking at them, no other reaction, even to dogs barking at him.
π He is not used to the leash, but he does walk on it. He will stop and just stand for a while, so we had to carry him a few times, which he calmly allowed.
π At the end of the day, after he had time to get comfortable and warm up, he fell asleep in my lap at a loud, busy, brewery during a thunderstorm.
π Playgroup notes with other dogs at the shelter: 5/10 (3 days after arriving at the shelter) This dog had to be bucketed to yard, not seeking interactions with others, and will correct dogs that approach.
We took Big Pun on a Doggie Daycation today in hopes of meeting someone who would be interested in fostering or adopting him before his euthanasia deadline of 5/26.
