GARP

The rescue’s notes on GARP

05/27/26 08:59Garp is begging to be adopted or rescued from our shelter and grows more tired of this kennel life everyday. Garp is such an energetic and fun-loving dog that being in the kennel for most of the day is breaking him down; now while we do as much as we can to help him get his energy out, its nothing compared to consistent exercise he'd get when hes out of the shelter. PLEASE come in to give Garp the chance he deserves and help him turn into the best doggy version of himself that he can be!!03/30/26Garp is in need of rescue URGENTLY due to growing high arousal and rowdy behavior when being handled by staff; He is currenty available for adoption or rescue. He displays loose body language and social behavior with people, jumping up and leaning onto people to solicit attention. He is very active while out in play and loves to leap and jump onto our play structures in the yard! Due to his excitability when playing, Garp has displayed the tendency to nip and jump at staff while out in play. This behavior has been redirectable thus far, but would need future management and training by an adopter to prevent this behavior from escalating. Garp has displayed very social behavior with other dogs in our shelter as well, playing very well with other dogs. If you're looking for an absolute love bug who could also play for hours, then Garp is YOUR MAN!! Garp is looking for a patient and loving adopter who is committed to training Garp to shift some of his rowdy behavior into more positive tenancies.05/12/26What I did today:I had never met my walker before but that didn't stop me from greeting them with maximum wiggles and enthusiasm – new friends are the best friends! I collected all the attention and scratches I could during our breaks and showed off my `sit` whenever treats were on the table. At the end of our walk I got a pup cup – delish!What to know about this dog:• Minimal pull on leash (though loves to weave)• Treat-motivated with a good `sit` – can be a little jumpy/mouthy but is still young and would blossom with some structure and training• An incredibly sweet and friendly boy who would thrive in a loving home that can offer routine, consistency, and plenty of affectionThree words to describe me:Wiggly, Friendly, Playful
