Whiskey - Airedale Terrier Dog for Adoption in Worcester, Massachusetts

Meet Whiskey — Your New Shadow, Walking Buddy & Professional Squirrel Watcher!

Whiskey is an adorable 8-year-old Terrier with a big personality and a serious appreciation for the finer things in life: walks, fetch, tug-of-war, stuffies, and being as close to his person as humanly possible. Once he warms up to you, prepare yourself—you may have just acquired a 4-legged shadow.

Like any good Terrier, Whiskey takes his job as a small-critter patrol officer very seriously. Rabbits, squirrels, birds, and other tiny moving objects: Beware. He’s also quite alert to sounds outside and people walking past the house, so apartment living would not be a good fit.

Whiskey is smart, attentive, and redirectable, so some training could help him learn when he’s officially off duty. He’s a bright guy who enjoys having something to do, and his humans can put that clever Terrier brain to work.

Once he knows you, Whiskey is sweet, cuddly, and wonderfully affectionate. He loves his people and would happily keep tabs on you throughout the day. Need to go to the kitchen? He’s coming. Moving to the couch? Already there. Going for a walk? Absolutely—and he would like to discuss the possibility of a second one.

Whiskey is housebroken and will give you a little whine when nature calls, so at least he knows how to communicate important bathroom-related business.

An adult-only home is preferred for this handsome guy. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will keep you active, make you laugh, enthusiastically participate in games of fetch and tug, and never let you wonder where he is, Whiskey may be your guy.

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
