About Django

Meet Django! This curious two-year-old mixed breed, currently in Amherst, MA, sports a sleek black coat accented with white. At around 50 pounds, he’s a medium-sized boy who quickly forges strong connections with his people, greeting them as if reuniting with long-lost friends. Django thrives on affection and enjoys curling up with those he trusts. His playful side truly comes out when it's time for adventures. Whether it’s chasing toys, going for walks, or swimming, he’s always keen on new activities. He often walks around proudly carrying his favorite stick or ball like it’s his special assignment for the day. Smart and eager to learn, Django already knows commands such as sit, stay, and heel. Training sessions not only sharpen his skills but keep his mind engaged. However, he does experience fear-based reactivity to new sounds or distractions, so he needs an experienced owner who can provide a supportive environment and maintain a steady routine. Django is best suited for a quieter home without children or cats, and he prefers to be the only dog. He currently takes Fluoxetine to manage anxiety, and with patience and structure, he is expanding his confidence. Could Django be your thoughtful adventure companion? Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
