Adopt BANE* a Black - with White Labrador Retriever / Mixed dog in Tucson

Location:

Tucson, AZ

Description:

Bane is a shy guy who came to the shelter as a stray. We’ve been working hard to help him adjust to the day-to-day routine here at PACC, but there’s just no substitute for a real home!! Bane has been making great progress- here’s what his volunteer friends have said about him:“Bane is coming along so well. He`s a little hesitant with leashing until I give him a piece of chicken, and then he`s ready to go and he goes potty right away. Bane is a nice walker who is still a bit anxious. I’ve been able to pet him lately and on my last walk with him I got a kiss. That made my day! Easy to return and unleash in kennel. Once he gets to know a person I think he will be a very loyal companion.” “Bane was sweet during our walk. He had a perfect kennel routine, sitting pretty for me to leash him up. I petted him at the end of the walk which he enjoyed.”“There was a note that said Bane would not leave his kennel in the morning, so I walked over to see him. I was able to separate him from his kennel mate, talked to him from outside the kennel, then quietly entered the kennel and sat on the floor. After a few minutes, I was able to leash him. As soon as I opened the kennel door and went out, he followed me, though his tail was tucked. We walked south through the desert, and he relaxed more and more as time passed. Bane was quiet and did well on leash. I hope he will gain more confidence as he interacts more and more with walkers.”“I approached Bane’s kennel and gave him very small bits of string cheese from outside. He ate the cheese but did not approach me. I entered the kennel and easily leashed him. Bane surprised me with how well he walked. We went through the gate to the park without any hesitation. He pulled slightly at first but then settled into a good walk. I gave him light pets on his back. We walked down to the gazebo and he had a few tiny pieces of cheese. Returning him, was easy. This boy is making great progress!”There you have it- with patience, routine and consistency, Bane has all the makings of a wonderful family member! Bane has been social, tolerant and playful when attending playgroup at the shelter, though he’d still like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to make sure it’s a good fit. If you can show this timid boy that life in a home is nothing to be scared of, please ask about Bane today!!
