| SHAWN Shawn is a 4 year old male Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. His DOB is 10/04 He is an owner turn-in, he is being turned over due to personal issues that have nothing to do with Shawn. Information from them is below: He was found in an outside holding pen at the Meigs County, Ohio(Pomeroy) dog pound. He was a very thin 35 pounds when I first saw him. Ribs, hip bones, and backbone were quite prominent. He is microchipped and was traced back to the breeder in Missouri, a Petland in Chillicothe, Ohio, and the original owner. Both the vet and I tried to locate her to no avail. He is very outgoing and loves to play with toys. I have seen no sign of aggression whatsoever in him. He has been around my three year old niece and seven year old grandson and was A-OK. Shawn gets along with my female Wheaten and Yorkie-Poo just fine. I have not had him around other males due to my knowledge of Wheatens. My two get mad at him when he chases after them. I feel most confident in saying that he should not be placed in a home with cats. He knows the sit command very well and takes treats out of my hand more gently than any dog I have EVER had. He seems to be housebroken but I have used a belly binder prior to neutering because I am not used to males and was afraid he might "shower" the edges of things with the girls being here. He is very affectionate but does tend to play nip a habit I'm still trying to break. I have found him to get into mischief chewing on small things especially when I'm at work. He stays in the utility room and I come home at lunch to let him out. Having been involved in the training of dogs on and off for 30 years I can say without a doubt he does need a manners class or basic obedience one. He is a great flight risk when it comes to an open door. My dog door has been a blessing though. He likes snow but not rain. From Shawn's current foster mom: He has finished week-long obedience training and scored very well on basic commands! He is learning to walk on a leash without pulling and is making good progress. Shawn is a high-energy dog who loves to play outside and loves his toys! He is all-boy and would best be placed with an individual or family who could keep up with all that energy. As stated previously, he has shown absolutely no aggressive tendencies, in fact, he has been gentle with a new Wheaten puppy on our block. Shawn is neutered and up to date on shots AUGUST 2008 - A FOREVER HOME Shawn has been adopted by the Paasch Family of Illinois CONGRATULATIONS! |
