XANDER (Learning to Swim!!)

Xander is a lovable young dog and a true friend to everyone he meets. He's also been waiting far too long for someone to notice him. Black dogs are the most overlooked dogs in shelters, and this sweet boy is no exception. <br/><br/>He loves fetch, rolling in the grass, and is a champion at tug‑of‑war with his dog friends. He’s smart and so eager to please! <br/><br/>Since finding his way to the shelter, Xander has learned to sit and stay and is even learning to swim during visits to a local indoor pool. <br/><br/>Take a chance on Xander, and you'll be rewarded with a lifetime of love, laughter, and loyal companionship. Email us about him today to schedule a time to meet him one on one (with one of his many human friends) <br/><br/>Volunteer dog walkers also work with our dogs daily, so you can be sure Xander is housetrained and has excellent leash manners. <br/><br/>Online Dog Adoption Forms: : https://wacshelter.com/adopt-a-dog/<br/>Website for general questions: www.wacshelter.com<br/>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wacshelter/<br/>Email: wacvolunteers@gmail.com<br/><br/>** Be sure to check out our FACEBOOK page for day to day updates on our<br/>cats and dogs.<br/><br/>Canine adoption fee includes:<br/>Spay/neuter<br/>Age appropriate vaccinations<br/>Deworming<br/>Flea prevention (if required)<br/>Heartworm screening/monthly prevention<br/><br/>** Volunteer dog walkers work with our dogs 7 days a week.

We are happy to suggest a few ways to ease the transition. If one of our dogs is reported to have lived with cats previously, that will be indicated in the dog's description!<br/><br/>IS THIS DOG GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS?<br/><br/>No dog loves every other dog, just as humans do not like every other human they meet. A proper introduction (meet and greet) would be required as part of our application process.<br/><br/>IS THIS DOG GOOD WITH CHILDREN?<br/><br/>The better question is how the children have been taught to handle animals. A dog will respond negatively if he/she is not being handled properly. We can offer suggestions on how to teach children to interact with dogs and pay attention to body language. Young children should never be left unsupervised with new dogs.<br/><br/>WHY IS THIS DOG IN THE SHELTER?<br/><br/>The top reasons dogs are given up are:<br/><br/>Moving without considering the needs of the pets<br/>Death of the owner with no plan in place for the pets<br/>Previous owner did not provide appropriate training<br/>Owner did not consider the lifespan of a dog<br/>Owner did not consider the cost of providing for a dog
