Whiskey

There’s no place like home… let’s find Whiskey one! Whiskey was born at BCAR three years ago, and sadly, while his five littermates and his mom were all long-ago adopted, he has lived his whole life at the shelter. One of our volunteers brought Whiskey home for a couple of days, and here’s what he’s like in a home. Please share this with everyone you know and let’s find Whiskey a home of his own! Whiskey is a loving dog with a great disposition. He will make a beloved pet for a person or family who is active, likes to walk or run every day, lives in a quieter environment, likes to talk and interact with their dog, will take cues from Whiskey about his comfort level with different, new situations and people and make accommodations accordingly. He is a sweet, loving, trusting, smart dog – Whiskey is everything you want in a companion dog. Whiskey is people-focused. He is a BCAR volunteer favorite and gets along with the other dogs as long as they keep their distance. He will run/walk several miles a day, with a couple of other 5-10 minute outings during the day. He is not an alpha dog but you would want him to be the only dog in his home. Whiskey has had a lot of obedience training. He does not bark and is house trained. He was not destructive. He is not mischievous, does not chew items, doesn’t have separation anxiety, and he doesn’t shed. He’ll sit beside you on the sofa for hours, and even watches TV! His cons? He is nervous of new noises – the dishwasher, the icemaker, thunder. And he is reactive to other dogs when walking. Being cognizant of this, you can act accordingly and prevent issues. Whiskey is a good, all-night sleeper, either in his own bed, or yours, your preference! All BCAR dogs are placed as indoor family pets. No electric fences, please.
