He sometimes gets rowdy when he sees other dogs, but he’s been having regular professional training sessions at Posidog and is a star student! His foster parents are working with him daily on his training. His furever owners will have an opportunity to visit the training facility where JD does his training. In his foster home, he is not crated and is fine. JD will do best in a home where he is the only dog. Bully breed experience helpful but not required.

He wants nothing more than to please his people, whether that’s playing fetch in the yard or snuggling on the couch. He has a lot of energy, so he would do best with an active family with a yard for him to run and play in. Rocko spent several months in the prison program and recently transitioned to a foster home.

Bee

Posted May 21, 2018 | Posted in Adopted - Congrats! Comments Closed

Breed: Norwegian Elkhound mix
Sex: Female spayed
Age: Young adult (1-3 yrs)
Size: Medium (25-50 lbs)
Good with kids: 8+
Good with cats: unknown
Housetrained: yes
Recommended environment: Bee will thrive in a household where she has some companionship. Elkhounds love their people and develop very close bonds. She will alert if there is an unfamiliar person but is quickly quieted if you let her know the person is welcome. She enjoys her outdoor time, is not energetic in the house, but does like to play outside or go for walks. She is independent and very food motivated which makes learning new things easy. Bee can get nervous if something comes too quickly at her face (a hand, an object) which is why we prefer 8yr+ kids in the home. She is very affectionate, intelligent and has a true “Elkie” personality.
*Canine-Inmate Program*
Additional information: Bee will do fine in a home with a submissive male but not a dominant (high octane/in-your-face) dog. May have seasonal allergies (sneezes but no skin or food issues.)

Recommended environment: Haley is relatively new to the program so we are still learning what would be best for her.
