Queso, active & affectionate mid-sized companion!

Meet active and affectionate, 9-year-old Queso. Queso needs to find a new home due to the one-year-old twins in his current household. His current owners are overwhelmed with twin babies and Queso is looking for new people who have time and energy for him. Queso is a great size at only 35lbs and loves walks and hikes. He enjoys road trips, running errands and hanging out with his people. He’s been very good with kids over toddler age but does get nervous around the babies. The twins are of course are always going for him -so the parents just want him removed from situation. A home with older kids is fine for him or a no kid household too. Queso is crate-trained and house-trained and not a chewer. He can be trusted out of his crate and quiet in the house- though he will make his presence known if someone comes to the door. Queso is great on a leash and knows his basic commands. He loves people, loves to give kisses and is very lovable and loving! Queso likes multiple walks a day but is also content soaking up the sun on the front porch. He has not been around cats much so we’re not encouraging kitties and his current owner says he’s been known to chase. He listens and takes correction well and is food motivated so training is a breeze. We would like an adopter who is dog-experienced as we obviously want this to be Queso’s forever home. Ideally his new adopter is someone who likes having a companion with them many places they go; someone who's wants an exercise buddy and companion. He has not had a lot of dog socialization throughout his life. Queso has a few doggie friends that he is around a lot but get nervous around new dogs that are “in his face” or want to play. He prefers dogs that are chill and just want to hang out and do their own thing. Ideally, he’d prefer a no dog home too. Queso is neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped. His is currently in the Tacoma area and available to meet. His current owners love him and want him to have a better life. “He's a great boy who still has the energy of a youngster. He will be an amazing companion to someone who's somewhat active and who likes spending time with their dog while they're out doing things. Queso loves going to department stores, breweries, parks - you name it - and he really does love being with people. He especially loves hanging out on the porch or deck, soaking up the sun. He doesn’t mind the weather and minds you well. Yes, he might bark, but that bark alerted us to a home intruder years ago and we likely owe him our lives for that. He's a good boy and he deserves a good home.” For more information, contact Pam at [email protected] or to complete an application, go to: https://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/N1V88edh02ForIB30gCf2.
