Foster location: Boise ID Breed: Jagdterrier Age: 2 Adoption Fee: $150.00 Neutered, Vaccinated, Microchipped If interested you must fill out an Adoption Application: http://fuzzypawzrescue.com/adopt/adoption-application-2/ Creed has had a very rough life in his short 2 years. Him and his brother used to live in California; one day his owner decided he no longer wanted the dogs and shot them. Creed's brother did not make it; Creed survived and found himself in a Cali shelter. The Cali shelter reached out to our friends at the Idaho Humane Society who finished up Creed's medical and then asked Fuzzy Pawz to take in this shy boy. As I'm sure you can imagine that has left him with some emotional scars and he is scared of humans. He was never socialized with people in his early years and then going through a shooting has left him with PTSD. He will need a house with understanding and patience; he has made good steps forward in his foster home and the right family can bring him even further. The good news is he LOVES other dogs and likes to do what they do. He bonded with his furry foster siblings before he bonded with his foster family. His new home MUST have a dog friend for him to play and cuddle with but he still has a lot of puppy energy that can annoy the older dogs here at the house. A dog that is social, confident and who can match his energy level would be ideal. He likes to chew on everything, even his crate bed isn't safe. He is housetrained but when left alone outside of the crate while you are gone he will mark the things he likes to call his and chew on things you wouldn't expect. Thankfully he likes his crate and doesn't mind a few hours in it. Remember Creed never lived in a house before coming to us; so this is all still new to him. Routine, patience and positive reward training are key; he can learn to be a great house dog. At night he sleeps under the covers with his foster humans. He likes walks but is still getting used to all the sounds and things nature has to offer so he will need a fitted harness to make walking safe. He can jump a 4ft fence and he digs so he will also need a secure yard/ watchful eye to keep him safe from wondering around the neighborhood. Once he bonded with his foster family he became a cuddle bug- he's a little shadow that just wants to be where you are. He is not food aggressive with humans or the other dogs in the home. For the most part he rolls over/ runs away from everyone but we found he isn't the most welcoming of newcomers when we are away. He protected the house from a babysitter by nipping at her legs from behind so he will need a trainer and socialization socialization socialization until he learns that he doesn't need to protect the house. He will need a household with no children or at least none under 15; a calm, environment that can give him structure is best. Creed is amazing once he knows you but remember he may be 2 years old BUT he is just now living his puppyhood.
