Corkie

Description

Please read this entire description before applying.Corkie is a 9monthold Whoodle who came into rescue with his brother, Chester. While both boys lacked early social experience, Corkie is the more confident of the two. He warms up faster, approaches slowly for treats, and once he trusts you, he happily leans in for gentle affection. He also loves other dogs his size or smaller and enjoys following them around, learning routines, and exploring new things.Corkie is sweet, gentle, and observant. He gains confidence from having another friendly dog in the home and enjoys companionship. He’s also the “water dog” of the pair — he loves the kiddie pool and was shaved down for comfort because of how much he enjoys splashing around.Like his brother, Corkie is not yet ready for leash walks. A secure, fully fenced yard is required. He is a flight risk when startled, so doors, gates, and transitions must be handled carefully. He cannot be crated due to his history at the breeder, which caused anxiety. When unattended, he should be kept in a safe room with a pet gate.Corkie is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines.ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS• Fully fenced backyard (no invisible fences).• Primary caregiver home more often.• Children 13+.• Calm, patient household.• Friendly resident dog his size or smaller strongly preferred — he thrives with canine companionship.• No crates — use a petgated room when he is unattended.• Experience with shy or unsocialized dogs is a plus.
