1/19/26 Former Adopter Feedback: Guthrie is a sweet dog with a passive temperament who just wants to be part of the family. He is gentle with his favorite stuffed toys and loves to sleep close to his humans, either cuddled up with them or resting nearby.

Training Guthrie has its challenges since he’s not very food motivated, making new commands tricky. He’s crate trained and tolerates baths, even if he’s not a fan. He shows his feelings through expressive, soulful puppy eyes rather than aggression. Nail trims go smoothly with a bit of peanut butter as a distraction. Guthrie has started to give cues that he is uncomfortable around small children, so it is in his best interest that he finds a home with older or no children. He has spent time with teenagers and enjoyed their company.

He enjoys walks but tends to pull on the leash and needs gentle reminders. At the dog park, he shines playing fetch enthusiastically.

Guthrie’s charming habit of delicately taking treats with the tips of his front teeth upon hearing “Take it nice” melts hearts.

He’s a special dog with lots of love to give. If you’re ready for a loyal companion who will shower you with affection and quiet devotion, Guthrie could be the perfect match.

7/15/19 Foster Feedback: Guthrie loves to play! Fetch is his favorite game, and he enjoys having space to run. He needs some training with basic commands, but Guthrie is a smart dog and catches on very fast. He shows no aggression towards other dogs he sees in public, and he has never had an accident in my home. He loves to play in puddles and lounge in the shade when it’s warm out. Guthrie’s a great dog for any family that’s willing to put in the time to training this puppy. To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org
