Friendly and Eager to Please Puppy is Our Pet of the Week

Meet Todd, a 6 month old male Terrier/Heeler mix dog who is our Pet of the Week with the Humane Society of West Alabama!

Todd has a smooth black coat and some white ticking on his chest. He weighs 25 pounds and still has some growing to do, so he should get to about 35-40 pounds.

The Humane Society tells us Todd was pulled from our city Animal Shelter, where he had been picked up by Animal Control as a stray.  "Poor Todd was at the pound for 3 months, so we had to get him out of there."

These days Todd is so happy to get lots of fresh air and playtime, but he is very ready for a real home after having been in a shelter environment for so long.

Meeting Todd for the first time, he was so friendly and was instantly excited to spend time with me.  Todd was also very eager to please, listening to commands.  He's smart guy who appears to be an easy to train dog, which he will need to develop into a well mannered adult dog.

The Humane Society believes Todd would be fine around children over age 10 (he is still a bit jumpy as most pups are!).  He also enjoys being with other dogs.

As for the ideal home, he may have too much energy for an apartment setting, and he will require a fenced in yard if left outside any unattended.

Todd has started his crate training.  He is also up to date on his vet care, neutered, heartworm negative and is microchipped. He is on heartworm and flea/tick prevention.

Let’s show Todd what a real home life should be for a dog – will it be your home?
