Evan is a handsome 9-year young miniature Eskie in need of a new home. Evan has lived with his family for 7 years. Unfortunately his canine brother has become more and more dominant over the years and life has become stressful for Evan.
We say 9-year young because Evan seems much younger than his age. This is an energetic little guy! A bit reserved when he first meets you, it doesn't take long for Evan to warm up and want to be your buddy. He loves couch time with his special person, enjoying belly rubs and snuggling and when it's time for a walk or a good romp in the yard Evan is ready. Evan knows basic commands such as sit, lay down. His leash manners could use a little work, mostly due to his exuberance. He is housetrained but may need a refresher once in a new home. Evan does resource-guard food and he is very afraid of thunderstorms. He needs to be left alone when eating and will seek out a quiet spot during storms.
The ideal home for Evan would be with an active person or couple looking to share their lives with a very smart canine partner. He will benefit and enjoy ongoing training. Like any typical Eskie he is bright, he loves to learn and he has energy to spare. Due to his issue with food possession an adult home or one with respectful children over 12 is recommended. Evan may be able to share his home with a calm, laid back dog but would be just as happy being the center of attention in his new home.
Evan will be staying with his family in central Connecticut until the right new home can be found for him.
