About Joshua

Adoption Fee: $50
Foxhound mix
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

This sweet boy Joshua is looking for a new home. If you've ever wanted to be greeted at the door by someone who thinks you are the best person in the world, you've wanted Joshua. Anyone who takes the time to get to know Joshua concludes that he is one of the sweetest dogs they've ever met.Joshua is a seven year old foxhound mix with enough brains and personality for two dogs. He's incredibly smart and can pick up all sorts of direction quickly. He loves to be where the people are and loves to be part of the happenings. Even though he's 70 lbs he thinks he's a lap dog, and loves to curl up next to you, or on your lap as you allow. Recently his owners have added 2 children to their family and feel that they are no longer able to provide him with the stable home environment, exercises, and continued training that he needs to be successful. He has a few issues need to be addressed through training and the current owners are going to put him in to a 4-6 week boarding training program (starting Jan 3rd) that will aim to correct these behaviors to prepare him best for a new home. He is not crate trained and with the increased stress at home have had 2 very minor bite incidents, so they are wanting to nip this right away to make sure it doesn't turn into more aggressive behavior and address his anxiety. Joshua would do best in a home with out young children as it seems the young kids make him nervous. The new owner would need to attend 1 in person training session when they pick him up and an additional session a week later which can be on zoom. We would also like to discuss his full history with you to make sure that you are a good fit because he will need an attentive owner!
