My name is Truman. I am available for adoption through Colorado Canine Rescue (CCR), a nonprofit dog rescue located in the Denver area. I came to CCR from a owner relinquishment in Denver. CCR believes that I might be a Boxer/German Wirehair breed mix (just a guess by shelter and vet personnel) and I am approximately 6 years old.
My foster parents tell me I have a kooky personality, maybe it has something to do with my mohawk and big underbite. I am a sweet boy with people, although I have not been around a lot of kids. I do well with dogs that are smaller than me. I need managed introductions with dogs that are my size, as I do not like confrontation or hyper/anxious energy. Once I am comfortable with them, I love to play and run around the yard and play with them in the house. I will need continued socialization training if I ever want to be off leash at a dog park. I do well with cats, I don't even notice they're around until there rubbing against me. I am crate trained and walk well on a leash. I am also trained to use the dog door in my foster's house and will need to go to a home with a yard. I love to go for car rides and hang out with my people. I like to go into the hardware stores because the workers give me treats! I do like to chase the squirrels on the fence (but I think that they are there for my enjoyment because they tease me). In the house I love to stare out the door or windows at the wildlife (squirrels, birds, bunnies, deer), but I don't like those pesky raccoons, don't worry I will keep the yard safe from them. I have been known to be a barker and know what a bark collar is. I sleep on a big comfy dog bed next to yours at night and will only get on the bed if you tell me it is ok. I take treats extra gentle and love fruits and vegetables. I love to chew on dog bones, and play with some toys. I like to go for walks and hikes, I like to play in the water and have been fishing in the mountains. I have been on a boat and love to have the wind just blow through my hair.
If you are interested in adopting Truman, please submit an adoption application located on our website, coloradocaninerescue.org. We are asking for a $200 adoption donation. He is neutered, housebroken, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Please note, CCR cannot guarantee the breed composition or ages of our dogs as we usually have no history prior to them entering the shelter. In addition, most dogs listed as potty trained will experience an adjustment period as they learn the routines in their new home.
