Sojo Labrador Retriever & German Shepherd Dog Mix Etobicoke, ON

Sojo



Sojo is a 7-year-old neutered male yellow Labrador mix. He’s been socialized with other dogs, and older children. He tends to chase cats. Sojo is housetrained, loves to cuddle, and enjoys going for walks and playing with squeaky toys. When he first came into the rescue, we saw some anxiousness with collar touching and new environment uncertainty, but within a few days he had acclimated and transitioned nicely.



Although he loves going for walks, he needs a bit of a refresher course on not pulling quite so much; his foster home has been working on walking mannerly, and already we are seeing improvement.



The best home scenario for Sojo would be a family in a house with a backyard (maybe in the burbs), as he gets overwhelmed with downtown/inner city living – it’s just a bit too busy and bustling for this boy. He does, however, enjoy going to the dog park to play and make doggy pals. He has been taught a number of behaviour responses, like “sit,” “down,” “stay,” and “give me five (paw)” – such a clever boy! Why has he been waiting so long for a new home is a question we just can’t answer but something plan to remedy!
