About Hamlet

This sweet boy 'got loose in the woods' and when ACC found him with a microchip and contacted the owners, they said they work too much and no longer want him. He arrived at the shelter 35 LB and is becoming a healthy, happy dog as he gains weight & receives love!! Neuter scheduled 4/21 'Staycations' (5 day in home trials) waives the adoption fee (email me for more info) (A1218500) HAMLET NOTES: * Easy in the car * Leans his body on you * likes to sit his butt on you * Gentle, calm, chill demeanor * Sweet & snuggly * Treat motivated * knows 'sit' * Gives sweet kisses * Lap dog * Velvety lilac coat * Easy on the leash * Will climb up on you for hugs/pats but not an aggresive/bouncy jumper in his mannerisms * velcro dog, will follow you & stays close * Showed non-reactive, positive body language when approaching resident dog in a cage for a brief few seconds to sniff, then walked away (didnt seem to want to play but didnt seem disturbed by another dog either) *Did really well with a few neighborhood dogs (both leashed) * Was able to settle in a room by himself without showing any reactivity/separation anxiety signs (will sometimes whine in room alone but settles fairly quickly & it isnt very loud) *went inside cage on his own, but turned around & walked out (my foster cage is also a bit too small ) * hasnt tried to chew on nor destroy things * appears house broken; had 1 accident inside; marks frequently outside * Didnt resource guard food/toys * Enjoyed playing with squeak toy; * Loves to drink water * Protective! Lets out a deep, loud bark when men approached us * needs to be neutered; scheduled 4/21 * showed a heavy fixation with mild reactivity toward some neighborhood wildlife & a cat when he was in close proximity; became curious with stiff body language then pulled on leash when cat ran away but re-directed easily'|.cats weve approached from a distance, he appears to be unphased by/doesnt notice them/doesnt react'|cats that have remained on their stoops and did not run from him, he was curious about getting closer to it and then walked the other way. True 'cat compatibility' is unclear at this time & may likely just depend on the mannerisms of the cat (proceed with caution for cat intros due to his mild fixation demeanor)
