Meiko is a 3 yr old neutered male who is up to date with vaccines. He is not housebroken and is learning how to go outside at his new foster home. He came to us because his owners could no longer keep him. He lost his dad a few months ago. Meiko has been surrounded by other dogs and has been having a good time in his new foster home.
It seems Meiko may have been raised more as a cat, than a dog; he was trained to use a litter box. This is a fairly common practice with small dogs and city dogs. Meiko is a little too big for a litter box though, he’s about 25 lbs. and hanging out with his foster siblings has taught him that he should go outside like them.
He warms up faster to women than men. It may be due to the depth of voice or body language differences. He sometimes shudders and cowers if you sternly say his name or give him a very assertive “NO.” Meiko may be a submissive dog who easily is startled by a stern voice or deep voice.
Meiko has lived with other dogs but we’re not sure how much he interacted with them. In his foster home, he has a few foster siblings to play with. We will report more on how Meiko is doing, so keep checking back!
