Why this pet is the one for you:
Angus is a silly, stocky goofball who loves playtime, praise, and petting! While he will eat cheese and whipped cream, his real passion is play. He absolutely LOVES balls, especially tennis balls and Jolly Balls, and enjoys playing tug with rope toys as well. He also loves going for sniff walks and offers the cutest rapid tail wags in response to baby talk! Overall, Angus is a very vocal guy who will bark and whine for you to spend time with him - and once you do, he won't want you to leave his side!

Angus has spent some time at our Behavior Center to overcome some shy/fearfulness and frustration related to barriers. Using playtime, praise, and petting, our trainers and animal caregivers have worked with him to develop confidence, especially around new people (he can be a bit shy at first!). While he has made great strides, Angus will do best in a low-traffic, calm household with older children (16+) or adults who can read his body language and help him feel comfortable. He is recommended to go to a family without cats, and while he may do well living with another dog, he will need to be supervised during play sessions. Due to his shy/fearful nature, he would prefer not to hang out in high-activity areas like dog parks and beaches - but don't worry, he'll keep you plenty entertained at home and on walks! Finally, Angus has some orthopedic issues, and needs to lose a little weight to look and feel his best. Regular, low-impact activity will be his recipe for success!
