Meet Arbutus (20240723-06)
Foster Notes:
Arbutus is a gentle-mannered well socialized husky border collie mix that has all the right personality traits to become a great companion dog for someone with an active lifestyle and consistent routine.
He thrives on a schedule that meets both his mental and physical needs. He’s kind when interacting with kids, good with all dogs an cats.
He walks confidently on the leash and enjoys going outside for several walks a day around the neighbourhood. He loves playing fetch and playing with other dogs. He loves to snuggle on the couch with his toys quietly in the evening.
He has shown some signs of mild separation anxiety when his people leave the house but we are working on building confidence each day as well as establishing the rest of basic commands. He loves puzzles, snuffle mats, learning new tricks and earning treats as a reward.
His ideal home would be an active household with working dog experience that enjoys going on walks and exercising.
He is overall a very good natured dog that is well on his way with his training. He loves bones and squeaky toys.
