Dune

8/18/26 - Found in Apple Valley in the vicinity of Central Rd and Bear Valley Rd. No microchip. LM ***** AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 8/22/26 ***** Intact male ~3 yrs. old 67.3 pounds Vaccines given 8-18-26 No microchip ALT ID# 8-18-26 3 8/25/26 Nervous at times, walks on the leash but will buck if there is tension on the leash, gets spooked easily, wanted to be close to handler but also wanted his space. 9/3/26 - Dune is a very easily excitable dog with high energy. He can be forceful when he wants out of his kennel and has jumped on staff trying to push his way out. While on a leash he walks well and ignores the other dogs. He did have a slightly smaller female kennel mate for about 2/3 days and he did well with that dog. He loves to be pet but will get mouthy when you touch his hind end. Would recommend an experienced handler and due to mouthiness and excitability I would recommend a home with no small children. *****Animals are eligible for adoption by the public after their stray hold period.
