A volunteer writes:  How’s this for cute:  when other dogs visit the home Pie will run around and collect all his toys and hide them so that the visiting dogs can’t play with them!  I guess at 13 years old this spry little guy can do what he wants!  Pie barks at kids as he’s only lived with adults, is accustomed to being groomed monthly, enjoys soft chew toys and stuffed animals and is accustomed to eating rice and chicken.  Pie was clamoring to go for a walk, went potty the moment we were out the door, and while a bit nervous enjoyed being picked up and cuddled.  Off leash with other dogs he allows greeting and then prefers to go off himself to explore the pen.  He’s an absolutely delightful little fluff ball whose age I would never guess as 13 he’s that spry and fun.

SAFER:

Pie came to our center as an owner surrender citing housing issues. It is reported Pie has only lived with adults, and will bark at children if they are visiting and attempt to play with him. Owner reports if Pie sees other dogs on the street he will ignore them. Owner states Pie is wee wee pad trained. It is reported he isn’t bothered if you touch his food or toys, but may hide toys from a visiting dog. During intake, Pie was calm and remained seated near his family. He allowed admissions counselor to approach and came when called, allowing all handling. Pie was a bit nervous during his relief walk, but did not pull. He held gaze for three full seconds during Look item, body cautious. Pie stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, tail down, mouth closed. He followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, body a bit cautious, settling easily at end. Pie did not pull his paw back on both Squeeze attempts. He had no interest in Toy. Pie did not approach the helper dog, turned to exit. Due to owner surrender profile and his uneasiness with children, the Behavior Team feels Pie would do best with an Experienced adopter that does not have young children. Any older children should have an in depth interaction before considering adoption.
