Dog of the Week: Vegas

Vegas is an attention seeker! He will stay by your side and demand pets all day. He tends to be more cautious and shy when found in new areas or when handled by strangers, but once he is comfortable, he will show his more playful side. He has learned to play tug and fetch. He knows to sit before every meal and when taken on off-leash walks, he will stick by his foster mom’s side! Sometimes he likes to follow his brother into the trees but always returns quickly when called. Vegas finds joy in lying down and cooling off in the river when he gets too hot on walks. And, when walking on a leash, he pays no attention to other dogs barking at him from a distance and will walk at your pace!

Vegas is working on not jumping on people out of excitement so he would be best in a home with no young children. He is kennel-trained but does take some coaxing to get in there. He will stay quiet when kenneled unless spooked, but with the reassurance of his foster siblings, he will quiet back down quickly. Vegas would also be ok with a dog-savvy cat, but he does like to chase them when they run around, so a cat that is willing and able to correct his behavior would be best. Vegas is about 1 year old and has lots of love to share!

Vegas’ adoption fee is $250 and includes neuter surgery, being up to date on vaccinations and preventives, a microchip with free lifetime registration, and a free obedience class.
