Anson

Anson is a two year old Belgian Malinois. He is on the smaller side weighing in at about 55lbs, Anson could stand to put on a few pounds. This boy was an unclaimed stray from a local area shelter so nothing is known about his background.

Anson is a sweet boy with a ton of energy! He was very anxious when he first came to his foster home, but that is to be expected when you are thrown into a new environment with 4 other dogs sniffing you. Since then he has settled in nicely. He got a bath day one and was a little skeptical at first, but learned to accept it.

Anson is a finger nibbler when he wants attention. He doesn't bite hard at all, just nibbles your fingers or hand when he wants you to pet him. He is very affectionate and loves to be pet. He sits on command, but usually won't hold the position very long. He is getting used to his new name and is starting to return when called. Stay is a bit of challenge for him, he has down a couple times, but he doesn't stay long! Anson does well on leash. He walks right beside you and doesn't pull hardly at all.

Anson gets along great with the rest of the pack. He loves to play and gets upset when the other dogs are pooped out and can't keep up with him. He will then bark at them to get them to play again. Anson uses the dog door with ease. When he has been inside, there have been no accidents. He usually finds a soft place and settles down.

Anson likes to fetch He also has been known to chew water hoses in to a million pieces. He hasn't chewed anything else other than toys. Anson hasn't shown much interest in the neighbors livestock. It is unknown if he could live with a cat or smaller dog.

Anson is looking for an active home with a person, couple, or family with older children that can meet his activity needs. He has a ton of potential, so is looking for the right people that will spend the time and effort to bring it out in him!

This is a Level 2 Dog!
