What are you waiting for? Apply today! Introducing Gene, a recent graduate of the 9-week P.A.C.K. Program, where he mastered routine obedience, agility, and handling alongside a dedicated trainer. Gene now knows impressive skills such as 'sit', 'wave', and 'shake', but these behaviors will need ongoing reinforcement from his new family to truly stick. Gene comes from a challenging background in a hoarding situation, which has left him a bit nervous and reserved. His journey has already shown remarkable progress—he now seeks affection and makes strides each day. Because he responds so positively to other dogs, Gene must be adopted into a home with another canine companion, as they greatly help his confidence bloom. He will thrive in a calm, quiet home environment, and he is not suited for households with small children due to his sensitivity with body handling. While his reaction to cats remains uncertain, it's likely he'll simply avoid them. Gene is already comfortable in a kennel, and word from the foster home is that he’s house trained too. Now, all this sweet boy needs is a loving family willing to help him continue to grow and enjoy his well-earned second chance. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
