Christoph's Story

Hi, my name is Christoph! I'm a PURPLE pawprint, which means I will fit well into a home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:<br/><br/>-Personality: Friendly, independent, loyal, smart<br/>-Can Live with Kids: No thanks. Christoph will need an adult-only home.<br/>-Can Live with Cats: Unknown history, but would not recommend. Cats would need to be confident and introduction process slow and structured.<br/>-Can Live with Dogs: No thanks! Christoph is not a fan of other dogs and will need to be an "only child".<br/>-Can do Apartment Living: No. Christoff would do best in a home on some property and/or with a fenced yard!<br/>-Potty Trained: Yes<br/>-Bite History: No<br/>-Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: May be required to attend one private lesson depending on adopter experience.<br/>-Energy Level: Medium<br/>-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Nope, ready to go!<br/>-Additional Information:<br/>Christoph came to WHS as a stray, so we don't know much about his history. He's a sweet and laidback guy when he's in the right setting, and will make a wonderful companion to the right person/people. We think Christoph's perfect match is a single person or couple who have dog experience and live on some property. If you're retired or work-from-home, that's even better because he can hang out with you all day long! Christoph loves walks and does well on leash. He can be reactive to other dogs and would probably do best in a calm rural setting where he can feel safe and relaxed. Christoph is a middle-aged boy who's starting to slow down a bit, but still has plenty of energy for walks and exploration. The best thing about Christoph is that he likes being with his people, but he also likes doing his own thing. If you're someone who's outside often (gardening, working on your property), he would love to follow you around and help with your chores - he's just happy to be along for the ride. <br/><br/>As mentioned previously, Christoph can be a little sensitive in stressful situations. He will need a DOG-EXPERIENCED adopter who is able to read his body language and respect his boundaries.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
