Bates

*ADOPTED*

Location: Acton, ON

DOB: Approx. September 3, 2022


Single-family home required.

Minimum 5-foot securely fenced yard.

This beautiful sweet boy, big fluffy, is looking for a new family who will make him a part of their family for his life. They will take him on walks every day and hikes.

He was with another shelter who had no space for him. He was finally caught after being loose for what they think is about a month. So far, he is doing really well.

He is great with people. We aren't sure about children, but he will probably be fine, but over 12 due to his size.

He is good on leash. He does have a fear of other dogs so hiring a Trust Technique Practitioner will be a prerequisite to adopting him to ensure he has a good chance at success with your family. Have a look at the Trust Technique. The first chapter is free so you will see the idea behind it. James French also has a Youtube channel.

We also recommend the online teaching program Recallers

If you are interested in meeting this beautiful boy, please complete the adoption application.

Adoption contribution: $400
