Maryville Treatment Center has had a new group of dogs for a month now, so what better time to introduce them!
Our current group of dogs are Estelle, Tank, Bingo and Kingsley! Estelle is a 3-year-old Pit Mix, who loves to play tug-a-war and is very well mannered. Tank is a 4-year-old Heller Bluetick Mix who loves to play with bones and pop bottles. He is great with women and indoor cats and dogs. Bingo is a 3-year-old Aussie Terrier Mix. He loves to go on walks and cuddle. He is really good with women and calm children. Lastly, we have Kingsley, he is a 5-year-old Akita Mix. He is super affectionate and playful. He loves to play fetch and chew on ropes.
We talked with the handler about how this group has been progressing through training and here’s what they said…
“Estelle is doing great with people and all the attention she is getting. She has learned to sit, lay down, shake and she kind of knows how to play soccer! She is very mellow and listens very well. She has been playing with Bingo in the dog area, the two of them run until they can’t. She rarely misbehaves and loves to cuddle at the end of her day!”
“When Tank got here, he had no concept of obedience. Since his arrival he has learned many commands such as sit, down, kennel and wait. He walks on the leash very well. His favorite things to chew on are his bones and rawhides. He is a work in progress but already such a great dog!”
“Bingo has shown tremendous improvement since his arrival. Due to his intelligence, he has the ability to follow a variety of commands and is easy to work with. He is an active, friendly, and all-around loving dog. When walking around any people even comment on his always smiling and noting how he is just a happy dog.”
“Since being in the P4P program, Kingsley has learned sit, lay, stay and how to wait to walk through a door. Kingsley is a very lovable, playful fluff ball. His newest trick is crawling! He also plays very well with the other dogs!”
We have been told that Estelle and Kingsley have been adopted, but if you are interested in adopting one if these dogs, please contact New Nodaway Humane Society
