181016 Seven

My story

SEVEN -1-5 years old, 70 pounds, nervous in shelter.   Seven is a beautiful boy with light and dark brown fur all mixed throughout his body. He is nervous behind cage bars.   Whenever I walked by, I would throw treats to him. I didn't leave when he barked at me. I only threw more treats. Eventually the barking stopped and I got him.   Outside, Seven was curious and interested in the smells all around on the grass, benches, and agility equipment in the yard.  He came to me for treats. He was a bit hard when he grabbed the treat, so I ended up just tossing them to him…which he caught like a champ. Seven needs time to warm up to new people.  Take the time and allow him to get used to you and others. Slow and proper introductions will help ensure success in his becoming an important member of your family. After spending more and more time with Seven, I am seeing a very nice and seemingly well-mannered boy. He is perfect on the leash although he does have a nice pace. He will stop along the route investigating trees, bushes, mailboxes, and grass.   I also discovered Seven loves fetching...and he is also perfect at it! Excitedly he chases tennis balls and brings them right back to your feet! He looks up for the next one and off he goes again! I think his playtime motto is throw, retrieve, repeat. LOL   We don't know how he feels about other dogs so until we figure it out, bring any resident dog for a meet and greet and please be ready to supervise if it goes well. Also, let this big boy approach you. Let him proceed at his own pace. There’s no need to rush. Seven is currently in a back kennel so if you come into meet him and don’t see him, please just ask.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 19, 2025, 12:54 pm
