Meet Stick
Playful, goofy, and full of energy—Stick is always ready for fun! He loves to chase toys and make people laugh with his silly antics.
Stick is still learning how to navigate the world appropriately. He’s practiced some challenging behaviors like jumping, nipping, and using his mouth during play, but the good news is—he’s very trainable! With consistent guidance and positive reinforcement, Stick is well on his way to becoming a lovely companion.
He tends to play rough and hasn’t quite mastered dog-to-dog communication yet—he doesn’t always notice when his playmates need a break or when they’re telling him “no thanks.” For that reason, Stick will need structured support to become a respectful dog friend.
He’d do best with some adult dog companions who are stable, playful, and tolerant—either in his home or as part of his regular social circle. These role models will help him learn better boundaries and manners.
Stick hasn’t lived with children before, but he may do well with older kids who are eager to be involved in his training. A consistent home environment will help him learn quickly and feel secure.
Stick is a diamond in the rough—energetic, smart, and full of potential for the right adopter committed to helping him shine!
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Stick. We have open adoption hours Mon- Wed 11:30am-5pm, Thu-Sun 11:30am-6pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they are interested in and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.
