Alan's Story

Alan: A 70lb Couch Potato Who Wants to Be Your Yardwork Assistant!<br/><br/>Are you looking for a loyal companion to keep you company while you work outside? Meet Alan! He is a 2-to-4-year-old Lab/Pittie/Working dog mix who weighs 70 pounds. Because of his working roots, Alan thrives when he feels like he has a "job" to do—making him the perfect partner for life on a farm, acreage, or a home with a big yard to patrol.<br/><br/>Proven to Be Good in Public<br/><br/>Pet Store Approved: Alan just attended his first public adoption event at a bustling local pet store and did phenomenally well. He handled the crowd, met tons of strangers, and greeted other dogs beautifully.<br/><br/>Outdoor Companion: Perfect for anyone who works in their yard, garage, or field and wants a shadow-like buddy.<br/><br/>Leash & Crate Trained: Walks beautifully on a leash and goes to his kennel for a treat. He is fully house-broken, though a big burst of excitement can occasionally cause a minor accident if he hasn't been out in a while.<br/><br/>Great with Other Animals: He easily shares his favorite orange rubber ring with other dogs. He currently coexists beautifully with dogs of all sizes and senior cats.<br/><br/>Slow Introductions Please<br/><br/>Alan is a confident boy, but a past ACL injury leaves him with a slight limp and a bit of caution around new people in his personal space. He asks his human friends to approach low—avoiding reaching over his head—and let him come to you. A few treats and some ear scratches will quickly seal the deal, turning him into a total velcro dog. He is also fantastic with kids of all ages and is a certified gentleman when wearing his muzzle.<br/><br/>Ideal Home: A home with some outdoor space or a daily routine where he can tag along on your chores and feel helpful.<br/><br/>How to Meet Alan:<br/><br/>Alan is being fostered through HALO (Helping Animals Lost & Orphaned) located at 3346 Jasper Rd, Xenia, OH 45385.<br/><br/>Website: halok9behavior.com<br/><br/>Adoption Inquiries: Contact the rescue director at director@halok9behavior.com or call (937) 736-2055.
