Meet MuffinFace - your new best bud! This gentle guy is a VERY sweet dog who was brought in as a stray and found himself on the euthanasia list at an LA County shelter.
He was rescued by a family a couple of months ago who hoped their 2 cats and him would live in harmony, but that didn't seem to be the case.
They're safely managing on keeping them separated in the home.
This 3 y/o squish is good with all humans and may bark at someone in the distance, but once you're near him he's all LOVE! He’d do well with calm dogs and older kids! He's good on leash, has good recall, does fine in the car, knows how to sit, lay down and spin 360! Like most dogs he puts up with bath time and doesn't fuss! MuffinFace likes clicker training, hiking and puzzles, but most of all CARROTS! MuffinFace would do great in a home where he can rest in a cool shaded area right next to you or chase after lizards while you garden! He’s mellow but at the same time enjoys play time and a toy to destroy! He's not destructive in the home and does fine by himself in the crate which yes, another thing he LOVES! He even zooms into his crate for nap time after play sessions.
MuffinFace will take all the pets and hugs at any moment, but it's important to continue balancing how to deliver affection since too much of it at an intense level used to trigger his jumping/mouthiness behavior.
He's also been working on his jumpiness/mouthiness with redirection and has made major improvements! 80% better! Does MuffinFace sound like your new best bud?
