TRUCK

01/23/26 14:45On Needs Rescue for visibility.1/16/26Truck is a strong, energetic dog with a lot of personality and enthusiasm! He responds best to experienced handlers who can help him manage his excitement. He can be mouthy and reactive when overaroused, so meeting him before adoption—especially if you have other pets—is highly recommended. With guidance and structure, he has the potential to be a fun, engaging companion for the right home.01/31/26 10:25 MHAs of 1/13, Truck was noted to be dog-reactive, extremely strong, and prone to becoming mouthy when over-aroused; it was recommended that he meet any resident dogs prior to leaving the shelter. Since then (updates through 1/31), Truck continues to present as very strong and highly stimulus-focused, pulling hard on leash toward dogs, cats, and other environmental triggers, especially after being barked at. He is easy to leash/unleash and manage in and out of the kennel, but shows fixation on dogs in neighboring yards and possible prey drive, making small dogs or cats a poor fit. He is not currently in a playgroup due to this hyper-fixation. Truck prefers exploring and sniffing over toys, has shown some jumping when excited, and benefits from management tools such as dropped dividers when neighbors are reactive. In a home setting, he would likely do best with structured mental enrichment (e.g., nose work, puzzles) to help manage overstimulation.
