Shylo (Acc) the Dog needs a home
: I’m a sucker for a sad hound dog face, and Shylo’s is near-perfect: handsome and winsome in equal measure. This gorgeous guy could break your heart and make your day with just one look! I’m the very first stranger that day to walk him at the Care Center, and while shy in his kennel, he gradually relaxes as we stroll along. By the time we’ve reach the park, his tail is softly wagging, his fly-away ears are all perked up and he’s ready to leap onto the first bench he sees. A big fan of The Three P’s (petting, praise and Pupperoni) Shylo is all about settling down and spending some quality quiet time together, and I’m shocked to see one of the reasons given for his surrender as ‘too strong and hyper’. Perhaps he’s hiding an energetic puppy somewhere behind his wise old soul exterior, but I suspect the truth is that Shylo just needed more time and attention than his former owner was able to provide. He lived and played gently with a 7 year old and is said to get along well with dogs he meets on the street (as well as in our playgroups), and he’s happy to share his toys, food and space with anyone who cares to join him. Already knowledgeable in sit, stay and come commands, he walks well, seems quite house trained, and we’re told he liked to sleep with his owner and little sibling at night–can I get an awwww? No surprise then that sweet Shylo received high praise on his behavior assessment and is recommended for almost any home–the more people to love him, the better. Bring Shylo home with you today and put a smile on everyones face…including his.
