Description:

· Intake Reason: surrendered because of owner's healthKnown with:· Cats: lived with 8 yr old female· Dogs: has previously met dogs on neutral territory· Kids: around kids 5 yrs and up, did greatHi there, my name is Dirk. My name has a Dutch origin and means ‘the people's ruler' but I only want to rule your heart. I lived with a wonderful person for most of my life and I was super happy. Unfortunately, my human got sick and could no longer take care of me so I came back to WCHS. Yes, I was adopted as a youngster way back in 2019. In my previous home I was confined to a room when I was alone so I did not have to manage the whole house by myself. When I was a pup, I was comfortable in a crate but have not needed to use one for over 4 years. At night I had the luxury of sleeping in my person's bed and that was grand because we could snuggle all night long. I am an affectionate lad, but at 88 pounds I may be a touch too big for your lap. I know proper potty behavior and learned to whine and run to the door to indicate I needed to use the outside facilities. When I come to my new home it would be wise to give me plenty of opportunities to go outside until we learn each other's signals and routines. I had a fenced yard to play in and that was lovely because I am an active guy who likes to play. I am friendly and intelligent and already know the cues for ‘sit', ‘down' and ‘come'. I must confess that I tend to pull a bit on a leash because I get excited and joyful about exploring all the wonders of nature. I am quite strong so I suppose I should practice walking more politely on a leash. I enjoy car rides and am happy to be your sidekick on any adventure. I love to be with my people and get a smidge anxious when I am separated from them. Here's a fun fact about me - I lived with a macaw for a while and did OK. I am hoping for an active family who is looking for a big hunk of love to share their life. Stop by to meet me in person and I think you will be smitten with my charm.#2
