Meet Pinto!
Update -5/14/19
Pinto is hard to approach in open spaces. He can be happy with people when he gets to know them,but still backs away. A foster or foster to adopt home who can take Pinto San projects would be best as he certainly needs help with people trusting. He isn’t a flight vs fight teen and is pretty much full grown already. He likely would be good with children who are gentle, slow moving, and not intimidating as he doesn’t want to try to snap, bark, or bite, but just walks away or stays on the side lines. He makes friends with most dogs. Some he will play with all day long with and, with others, just occasionally. He used to be afraid of dogs larger than 30lbs, but he can actually be just fine with them as he gets to know them. In nervous settings, though, he could be fearful and take a while to come around. He is fine with Cooper and Hubbard.. two 50lb shepherds, so slow intros are good for him. He did like to be great friends with Patotas and Hazel, both 40lb dogs.
Pinto can be in crates but would do best in a home who would crate the other dogs vs Pinto seeing the other dogs running around while he is in a crate. he tends to be around his friends.
UPDATE - 3/12/19
Pinto is doing great! he is now BFF with Potatas and Toe, who are 40lb shepherd/lab mixes so his fear of larger breed dogs is really case to case ei just needs to get to know the dogs. He really loves people!! He is the type of dog that would be fearful around 'new settings' like going to the vet or being left in boarding unless he knows the people handling him and they are speaking softly to him. He is a very good dog!
Pinto was rescued from a family who used to keep him in the backyard and the neighbor realized they got a puppy for Christmas and would leave it outside alone most of the day and noticed he would play with the kids when outside with him, but also observed both parents got a bit rough with him when they realized he would have gotten their laundry that was hung up to dry, got into the trash cans outside, or did something he wasn't supposed to. Thankfully, she got involved and asked if they would relinquish the dog to her; they did and she contacted us. Pinto was VERY human shy at first.Tthankfully she fostered him for the couple of weeks that she could and he trusted her and started to open up.
Pinto will be shy at first, depending upon on the person he meets, but he will soon start to approach and be friendly. He will trust some faster than others. We don't know how he will be with children. He used to relate them as the positive in his life, but some children are fast moving so it would really depend on the family seeking to adopt Pinto and their children's personalities and how parents have raised them up to be around dogs, especially scaredy cats like Pinto. We would need to meet and see what Pinto thinks of kids.
Dogs - HE LOVES small dogs, equal size or smaller than him, especially puppies.
He is scared of big dogs and will shy away and bark at them trying to scare them off; he also has exhibited some naughty approach or snapping at them. We are working with him on this and depending on the large breed dog he interacts with. We just need to make sure we continue socializing and training him to make sure he acclimates to bigger dogs and if not friends with them, to at least not mind them and learn to properly approach them.
He is crate trained and, like all rescues, will need basic obedience training.
Not a big barker but when he barks he has a huge deep bark and is crate trained.
Foster or adopter wanted. He will not be neutered until 3/11 and will be ready for meet and greets on or after Friday 3/15.
A foster is really needed for this guy and we would be happy to do foster to adopt trials for him before an actual adoption for any potential adopters to make sure he and they are comfortable in a forever home situation. Savvy adopters would be best to help him thrive.
