My name is CABEZON!

A Cabezon is large fish native to the Pacific coast of North America. Well, our Cabezon also resides in North America, but that’s about where the similarities end. He’s furry rather than finned, and he spends his time in the desert sand rather than the sea. He’s a whole lot more fun to play with than a fish too!

Shy and lacking confidence when he first arrived at the shelter, this boy’s inner playful puppy is on full display now! Here’s what volunteers have said:

“Cabezon is such a sweet guy and a gentle soul. He’s an attentive walker, looking back often. He`s learning to trust and starting to enjoy petting. I love this handsome dog.”

“I had Cabezon out in a play yard this morning. He was a little head shy, but easy to leash up in his kennel. In the yard, he would come up to me with a wagging tail and allowed me to scratch his chin and boop his nose, and he would lick my hand. Eventually I discovered the sweet spot- he loves to have his chin rubbed! He leaned into me as I scratched his chin and neck. It was my first time meeting him and he was understandably shy, he would only allow touch for short amounts of time, but he sure did love it. He was sweet and easy to return to his kennel.”

“I’ve watched Cabezon blossom- he was very scared when he first arrived, and now he is so full of life! He’s energetic, playful, and super goofy! He’s a huge puppy who is so much more confident now. He still doesn’t allow as many pets as I’d like to give, but he sticks close to me in a play yard, jumps around happily, and even gives little licks of appreciation when I scratch his neck and chin. I love him!”

Cabezon would love to find a home with an active family who will help him continue to build confidence and will give him training, guidance, and most of all, lots of love! Cabezon has shared his kennel politely with several different roomies and has been social, tolerant, and easygoing when meeting other dogs in playgroup. Please ask to meet Cabezon today!!
