PROFILE :

Hucch is a tan, eight month old Belgian malinois. He came into the shelter with another dog.  His owner had to suddenly move into an apartment and feels that it is not fair to keep him cooped up in a small studio all day.

SOCIALIZATION:

His behavior around strangers is dependent on how the person approaches him. He can be a bit weary of strangers but when the person approaches slowly from the side, and allows him to sniff he will allow them handling. He had been around children ages two, three, five and had played gently with them. He had lived with another dog and they had been friendly and playful with each other. On walks to the park, when he would encounter other dogs he would want to approach them.

BEHAVIOR:

He will relieve himself on walks outside to the park and he does not have accidents in the home. His owner had attempted to give him a bath but Hucch had not appeared to like it. The owner had not brushed him due to the fact that he has a short coat that is very low maintenance. Thusly the owner is unsure about whether he would tolerate having his coat brushed, although he suspects that he would not mind.

FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW:

Hucch is still a puppy which is evident in his playful demeanor. He is high energy and loves to play with his dog companion and people. He had spent a lot of time outside in the yard, where he and his dog buddy would often be found playfully wrestling. His owner did mention that Hucch had a tendency to dig holes in the yard from time to time. Since moving into the city the owner had opted to take Hucch on frequent walks to the park. He would pull excitedly on the leash which his owner would correct by stopping every time the pulling became too much.

BEHAVIOR DURING INTAKE:

The owner notified the counselor about Hucch’s apprehension towards strangers. The counselor went slow when approaching him. After smelling the counselor he immediately began wagging his tail and sat while the counselor pet him. The counselor tried to collar him which became difficult only because he kept trying to give the counselor his paw which eventually led to him laying down and rolling over to expose his belly. The counselor pet him and played with him for a bit then distracted him with a treat so he could be collared. He took the treats gently and allowed the counselor to put a new leash on him.
