STRIDER

Description

Strider recently spent time in a foster home, where he showed what a good companion he can be! He was calm and affectionate indoors, enjoyed being petted and having his belly rubbed, and was playful at times with toys while also settling nicely to rest. He takes treats very gently, knows “sit” and “down,” comes when called, and walks well on leash in quieter environments. His foster found that being around a person seemed to help him feel especially relaxed, and he was friendly, loving, and well-mannered throughout his stay.In a previous home, Strider was reported to have done well with dogs, cats, and the 5 children in his family ages newborn to 9, but started to struggle with meeting strangers, especially men. Here at the shelter, he initially was nervous with new people. More recently, volunteers have recently described him as affectionate, easy to walk, and fun in the yard. Strider may just be a dog that appreciates meeting new people slowly in the home, or being cozy in a separate room or in his kennel when guests come over! He’s become a rockstar with dogs and is so much more social with people than when he first arrived. We’re proud of this boy and hope you will give him the chance to win your heart! @vcanimalservices Strider (darker brindle) and Swirls (cattle dog) running their laps at Ventura County Animal Services ?
