Shatzi was one of a group of dogs rescued in honor of a much loved family dog named OSCAR.. Shatzi has the youthful innocence of Oscar and his great love of squeaky balls!! Shatzi comes with a story.. he.. or she.. had parts of both parts.. male and female! Thats a first for us! Vets tell us he's more of a he than a she but either way Shatzi is ridiculously cute and up for pretty much anything! Sometimes when young shelter dogs come to us they seem to have a delayed puppy stage that emerges after they've had a chance to settle in here at the farm.. its as if they never before had the freedom to be a wild and carefree pup!
Shatz is right there!! Loving life .. going boldly forward.. trying to do everything dogs love each & every moment!
Off the transport van Shatzi was the ultimate social play mate to everyone he encountered.. a true extrovert! PLAY PLAY PLAY... run and chase balls .. sniff, smell.. seek.... leap and dig and climb on everything.. Thats pretty much what this adorable brown scruffy dog is all about.
Even with a lameness in his left front leg.. (evidently caused by having been shot at with a BB gun at one point) ... Shatz is not at all compromised in activities!! Veterinarians tell us there's no surgery required.. Shatzi is full on loving and living a beautiful life!! As we spend more time with this silly dog we see he is a natural for "NOSE WORK" ... when he is on a scent is looks like his snout is tilling the soil! LOL.. he drives that cute brown nose deep in the grass with a focus and purpose that is remarkable!!
Shatzi is a pretty easy going pup... food motivated .. affection motivated.. play motivated.. in other words, easily engaged ... on balance well behaved BUT needs to learn some manners.. he sometimes mistakes people for his canine playmates.. and sometimes doesn't read the cues of his canine playmates that they have had ENOUGH!!!
We know there will be a lot of people who will want to adopt Shatz because of his EXTREME cuteness factor.. however Shatzi is not for everyone.. first and foremost he needs an upbringing by a responsible grown up... hes just too wild to be in a home with kids! In fact while we are accepting applications for Shatzi we do want to spend a little more time with the young lad and help him manage his mouth and learn to live in polite society!!
Stay tuned for updates!! There will be hilarious tales to tell .. we are sure!!!
