A beautiful gentleman has arrived at Muttville! With his German Shepherd face and ears, beautiful coloring, and short, squatty physique, at 62 pounds, his true lineage remains a bit of a mystery to us. Rumor has it he spent the last several years cavorting about San Francisco, Marin and Sausalito, enjoying his job as a city tour guide on the Hop-on Hop-off bus. At about 13 years young, we think handsome Dojo may have hopped on and off one time too many, as he has developed just a slight bit of arthritis in his hip area. But this does not slow him down or get him down one bit! Dojo is a calm, mellow laid back dude who loves attention and loves his treats. He was such a hit in Oakland that a whole community of people supported him on his journey to Muttville. This kind of mass adoration for a gentle soul like Dojo speaks volumes for the very special, very good boy he is. When you come visit Muttville, Dojo will happily welcome you and will be glad to visit with you!
Here are some great notes from his foster family:
This super chill guy is an excellent companion! He has been here a few days and already settled in.
- House trained.
- Quiet, no reactive barking
- Friendly to people and other dogs (not sure about cats)
- No begging for table food
- No jumping on people who enter the room
- Slow and steady walking pace
- A little hesitant going down stairs
- Sleeps until we wake him up
- Holds his bathroom breaks for hours
He is comfortable sleeping on a dog bed, but prefers the couch (as you can see!)
Loves cuddles and attention, but also fine on his own. Very easy-going!
