Adopt Kiowa a Australian Shepherd / Mixed Breed (Medium) / Mixed dog in Fort

Location:

Fort Lupton, CO

Description:

What Kiowa knows:1. To elicit a belly rub, don't roll, just FALL over with enthusiasm.2. That women are awesome and trustworthy and fun, and men can be too, but it will take a while before he really warms up. 3. Routines provide predictability and comfort.4. ""No"" - for the most part.5. LITTLE pieces of boneless turkey are excellent motivators.6. That when he goes outside, he's supposed to poop and pee.7. Other dogs are fun; children are not.8. That the coffee pot, dishwasher, garage door, are harmless, but should be regarded with suspicion.What Kiowa is learning:1. To walk on the leash and not pull.2. To take treats sweetly.3. Playing is okay! Toys are FUN!What is confusing for Kiowa:1. The ghost dogs in the television, sliding glass doors and other reflective surfaces.2. Why men change clothes - is it the same man in the morning as it is in the evening?In all seriousness, this 30-35 pound, 2 y.o., soft, loveable boy is at his max capacity for new stimuli right now but shows an amazing capacity to be a sweet, snuggly, confident guy. Because life on the rez can be rough going, he can react with a big boy bark when he's afraid. He's a quick learner and will need a home with dog friends and human companions that are loving but firm and consistent so as to build the trust that he needs to thrive.This animal is at the shelter. If you would like to meet this animal, the shelter is open from 10:00am to 5:00pm daily. Please go to www.souldog.org to fill out an adoption application prior to coming in to save some time.If you have other dogs in the home and are meeting a dog you must bring them for the meet and greet. If you rent, you must provide proof animals are allowed. We will contact references. When submitting your adoption application make sure to submit a good clear picture of your living room, kitchen, and yard.Filling out an adoption application does not mean you will be adopting the animal. Doing a meet and greet with one of our animals does not guarantee you are adopting the animal. We will select the family we feel is the best choice for that animal after screening and meeting applicants.
