Description:
If you're not careful, Houdini might just steal your heart! Houdini is about 3 months old and is the happiest little boy. He is an adventurous guy eager for fun. He is looking for an active family who can make sure to keep his busy mind and body happy with lots of enrichment and adventures. Houdini weighs about 17lbs now and we estimate he will be at least 60lbs when fully grown. Houdini came to us with his sister and four brothers from a family in rural Yolo County. The family didn't plan on having the litter and rather than sending them to the shelter, we were able to place the kiddos in foster homes until they are adopted. These kiddos need individual homes with large dog-savvy families who are equipped to take on smart cookies. Houdini, hence his name, is the puzzle master of the group. He is the one who is quickest to figure out how to earn a treat and is such a smart boy. He loves to learn and figure things out and would thrive with a family who wants a dog to teach lots of tricks. He has been doing great learning his basic manners and needs a family dedicated to continuing his training and socialization to help him be the best boy he can be. He would be a great candidate for group puppy classes. Houdini has done well meeting new dogs and would love a playful dog in his new home to help mentor him. He could also do well as an only dog with lots of opportunities to socialize with dog friends. Houdini has done well meeting cats and could do well living with dog-savvy cats with a slow introduction and proper supervision. Houdini could be a wonderful addition to a family with kids 12 years or older. Houdini has been doing well with his housetraining, but he still learning and needs a family who can be patient with him while he is learning and continue to be consistent with his training. He has done well being left alone in a pen and is doing well being crated overnight. He hasn't spent too much time completely alone and would do best with a family who has a schedule that will allow them to slowly acclimate him to being home alone. Houdinii is such a darling boy and he can't wait to meet his fur-ever family. If you think that might be you, submit an adoption application today! Houdini 's adoption fee is $350.
