Shelter: BC SPCA - Maple Ridge Branch Animal ID: 518981 Birthdate: October 22, 2016 - Adult Spayed/Neutered: Yes Male Please note due to the current COVID-19 pandemic our adoption process has changed. Please visit our website https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/how-to-adopt/ for more information. All adoptions are by appointment only once we have received an application. ***Due to the high number of Applications we receive for our animals, we will only be contacting potential adopters to further review their application*** This is Dessamuss! Des for short. Des is lovely fella looking for a furever home. Des loves to be with his people. He loves to be with his people so much so that he can experience separation anxiety when they leave. He can be very vocal when this happens. Des's adopters must be understanding of this, and show patience with Des as he takes time to adjust to new surroundings and situations. He would do well in a home with respectful children, and smaller dogs provided he has a proper introduction. Des is a very strong boy who wears a harness while on walks to help with the positive reinforcement of good leash manners. Des has been noted to jump over fences as tall as 6ft! If adopters have a fenced yard that is less than 6ft tall, they must be aware of this behavior and how to positively manage this. Des can be a big cuddle bug once he is in his comfort zone, he loves to receive lots of love and affection.
