<\/a><\/p>\nHe\u2019s a social, upbeat guy who genuinely enjoys the company of other dogs. During walks he has been consistently friendly with both males and females, only offering a brief, appropriate correction when another dog got overly pushy with him. We suspect that once he finds a well-matched playmate, Radar will be in absolute heaven.<\/p>\n
Radar has the energy and enthusiasm of a younger dog and will thrive in an active home that can give him plenty of exercise and structure. He does pull on leash in his excitement to explore, but he\u2019s already learning and responds well to guidance. He also knows sit and down, takes treats gently, and will roll onto his back with a big goofy grin for belly rubs\u2014an offer volunteers are powerless to resist.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s been keeping his kennel clean, which is always a good sign, though we can\u2019t make promises about housetraining. What we can say is that Radar is affectionate, eager, people-loving, and truly ready to bond with a family of his own.<\/p>\n
Radar is neutered and can go home with you right away. We do not yet know how he feels about cats. A meet-and-greet is required if you have another dog at home.<\/p>\n
To meet Radar, contact: Calaveras County Animal Services, (209) 754-6509 or animal@calaverascounty.gov.
\nPlease use Radar\u2019s intake number (A059959) when making inquiries.<\/p>\n

San Andreas, CA…Meet Radar (A059959), a neutered male Border Collie mix, about 4 years old and 56.4 pounds.
