More Info
Our boy, Walker, has struggled to find the right family that can offer him the ample time and unconditional love he needs to build the trust necessary to become the wonderful dog we know he can be. He would thrive in a home with an experienced owner who has dealt with food and toy aggression and is confident in setting clear boundaries. Walker has a significant bite history due to his resource-guarding behaviors, but these incidents happened when he was new to a home. This shows how crucial trust is for him to open up and avoid reacting negatively.
Once trust is established, Walker becomes very affectionate. He even willingly gives up his toys when he fully trusts you, as seen with a couple of his favorite volunteer friends. While Walker's food aggression might require ongoing management, providing him with his own eating space is a simple solution. Walker is a special boy, and we are seeking a special home that will give him all the time and space he needs to establish trust and reveal the fun, affectionate, and beautiful dog he truly is!
***This dog requires an adopter to come out to the rescue three times in order to build up trust and form a bond with this dog before going home. Please talk to your adoption coordinator regarding the behaviors we have been working with this particular dog and the training techniques we have seen improvement with. We will also need the name and number of the trainer you plan on using before they will go home.***
