D'Andre Pointer Mix Decatur, GA

D'Andre makes being an excellent good boy seem so easy. The staff love him. He's a breeze to take care off. We found him at a metro county animal shelter and were drawn to his gentle demeanor. He's very attentive to his human friends and smart and playful without ever being too much. If you want to play, wonderful. If you want to just chill on the couch, that's fine, too. He follows your lead. D'Andre seems comfortable with other dogs, but we've not had time to evaluate his play skills one-on-one with another dog. He's not leash-reactive and walks nicely and politely beside you, grateful to be out in the fresh air. D'Andre seems crate-trained, which is a big plus right out of the gate. His one challenge is that, like many shelter dogs, D'Andre hasn't always known where his next meal was coming from, or if he'd even have a meal. So, he sometimes be protective of his food, fearing you will take it away from him. This is a behavior that is quite common and can typically be worked out with a good feeding routine. But, because he's still learning to be comfortable about sharing food, we would like D'Andre to go to an adopter who doesn't have young children in the home, so there will be no feeding time misunderstandings. This dog is a dream. He's so good. Please come by the shelter and let us introduce you.
