Debo


Gender:Male (neutered)

I’ve got a bit of a past, but I’m ready to bust out of this joint and start fresh with the right person. I can be an oddball at first, but the staff has noticed that my “stranger danger” behavior isn’t much of my motto anymore. Being in the shelter has helped me adjust to meeting new people and seeing unfamiliar faces more regularly, and I’ve been learning how to navigate that with time and consistency. I came to the shelter because I was a bit too much for my previous owners. I’m a stubborn dude, and in my opinion, rules are a little overrated — but I am learning how to be a good dog. I need someone who is confident, stern, and consistent, and who will make sure I follow all the rules (even the ones I pretend not to hear). I do best with structure, clear boundaries, and routine. While I am generally an only-dog type, I may be able to live with the right female dog who either matches my energy or helps show me how to settle. I have been okay with some male dogs as well, but I do not do well with dogs that match my level of machoness or are confrontational. I currently do decently with Lester, though they have not been kenneled together due to cold weather. Due to my prey drive, I am not a good fit for homes with kids, cats, or other small animals. I do well in a crate as long as I get regular potty breaks and have things to keep me busy. I enjoy enrichment toys like KONGs, slow feeders, and toys that make me work for my food. If I do have an accident in my crate, I will try to cover it with my bedding. When outside, I can be a bit of an escape artist — I can jump a 10x10 kennel panel, though I have not shown the ability to clear a 12-foot fence. Because of this, I go into a covered outdoor kennel.
