Baron's Story

All of our dogs are Spayed/Neutered, Micro-chipped, and up to date on shots before being released to adopters.NAME:BaronSTATS:Male, Chi/Spaniel mix, 7 years, 14 lbs.TEMPERAMENT:Shy at first, once he warms up; he loves his people. Baron does need a seasoned owner to work with issues (see below).SKILLSPotty Trained (but may mark until comfortable in new surroundings so suggest a belly band).Crate Trained.NO cats.No Children.Needs to be with another dog.Very treat motivated.MORE ABOUT ME:Likes belly rubs.Couch cuddler.Likes walks.Needs patient owner willing to work on behavior (see details below).Treat and clicker motivated. Needs work to gain confidence.ONE LAST THING:Baron is a special case. He had a traumatic (likely hit by car) trauma where he had not only lost an eye but had other injuries to his face and jaw. Although he is slowly getting used to living in this new way, he's also scared of strangers at first handling him so we need a seasoned owner for this beautiful little soul. Once he's comfortable, he will want to be with you and love you a lot. He's playful and can play tug with you. In a quiet environment, he will get comfortable and sleep on the couch and cuddle with you endlessly.Baron has been recorded with a bite. We know that the bite was due to the peron going over his head to pet him on the side where he couldn't see. Baron had already warned the person multiple times that he was not comfortable with them petting him and he actually allowed them to pet him for a few seconds a few times, but was telling them he needed space and then he finally bit which was just asking for space and out of fear. So again, we're looking for a seasoned owner willing to give this guy a chance to see life can be good.He has improved significantly, but still has some separation anxiety and guarding barking. The behavior has improved by distracting him with treats and using the "clicker" for positive reinforcement.Baron needs a home that is patient with him, and in return he'll shower you with love. He will do best in a quiet environment where there are no children or cats.If you you are interested in meeting one of the dogs, please fill out an application from our website and tell us all about you at www.K9PawPrintRescue.org. We are always in need of fosters and volunteers
