Schatzi, a handsome 1.5 year-old Lab/Pyr mix, is an adventurous boy with a heart as vast as a mountain range. A true outdoor enthusiast, this boy is ready to conquer every trail and cuddle session, bringing unwavering devotion to his forever Colorado home. Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP. Personality | Schatzi is such a sweet boy. He loves pets and cuddles and has a very mild temperment around the house. He really enjoys going for walks and is so great on a leash. Schatzi enjoys meeting people and dogs. Schatzi needs an adopter who will not leave him home alone long hours (would love to have a person who works from home!), he would prefer to have a doggie sibling, and he needs an adopter who is willing to help him manage his separation anxiety.Story | Schatzi was pulled from a high-kill shelter in Houston. Schatzi made his way to Colorado is a happy Colorado doggie!Other Dogs | Schatzi is good with dogs!

We suspect with a good introduction, Schatzi will be fine with cats.Children | No experience yet, but respectful kids should be fine.Training | Schatzi knows many commands including "sit," "down," "stay," "come," "paw," "other paw," and "place" for his bed. He walks well on a leash His greatest challenge is crate training as he has severe anxiety when left alone in the crate. Leash | He's very good on a leash. Activity Level | Schatzi is energetic and playful and enjoys going on long walks and hikes, playing fetch and chasing us around the back yard. Schatzi LOVES LOVES LOVES to spend time outdoors - he's not a fit for a home without outdoor open space for him to enjoy.

Your application is good for one year from the date of applying for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle.
