PLANTER

No dog shows you their full personality when you first meet them, especially in a shelter setting. For Planter, it’s exuberant amounts of affection that he’s holding out on, and he may never display that. Some dogs just aren’t that way. But it doesn’t take long for him to warm up to you and at the very least, try to give you the tiniest kiss.<br/>A recent three-day sojourn in foster confirmed that he needs about 24 hours to start to acclimate to a new situation; then he displays strong desires to be near his humans and if they can’t actively give him attention, he is content to just lie by their side. He is going to need somebody to start working with him immediately on building confidence when he’s alone. As soon as you leave, he starts to exhibit some anxiety. This is likely because he’s been through so much change. A lot of shelter dogs experience this!<br/>But he’s got a lot of things working for him: he’s overall got a calm demeanor, especially for his age; he’s smart; he’s extremely motivated by treats and he’s got a sweet, gentle personality. He also does well with other dogs! And he was said to do very well with an 11-year-old boy.<br/>His temporary foster parent noted that he probably shouldn’t be around cats. At least this would be true at first. Some dogs acclimate well to cats in the house, even if they show strong prey drive outside the house. That integration can take at least a month, though, and needs to be done very carefully and deliberately. Planter is available for adoption, foster or a rescue pull. Come meet him today! Planter's adoption fee has been paid for with a donation from Tim Pantle
