September 21, 2018: Adoption Pending.
Pablo arrived to CCRT after being he picked up as a stray. Yes folks, a true mystery man! We have had the pleasure of getting to know this handsome boy and have learned that he is the strong willed, independent type who likes to do things on his own terms!
Pablo will need a dog savvy furever home (without kids) that is experienced with behavioural/ aggression issues as he has a bite history.
Pablo can be sweet, funny and playful. He loves playing ball, playing with his toys, or with his human. He likes to do things on his own terms and if challenged before he is ready, he will react. When coming into foster care originally, he had many touch triggers such as petting in certain areas of his body and being picked up from the group. With repeated practice he has overcome these issues with his foster parent.
He would benefit greatly from an active family as he is high energy. He would fare very well with someone who likes to hike/run/jog/rollerblade so that he can burn off some of that excess energy. He would likely do well with sports like flyball or agility. Pablo loves going for walks and is always ready to go on an outing. Pablo is quite reactive on leash and will bark, growl and pull towards people and dogs, some progress has been made in this area, but lots of work still needs to be done in this area. He travels very well in the car.
It appears that he has issues with larger dogs but would do well with another small dog as who is patient and non-reactive or be an only dog. He is unknown with cats, however, due to his high prey drive, we anticipate a reaction.
Pablo has improved tremendously with his potty training and is almost completely housebroken (will go outside or on pee pads) but will still occasionally mark in the home.
His foster home has been doing a great deal of socialization work with Pablo, both with dogs and people, so that he can become more comfortable and less reactive. Pablo has demonstrated he can be a quick learner, however careful attention should be paid when he meets new people or dogs whether inside or outside of the house.
In the right home, with the right direction and continued work on his behaviour, Pablo will be an amazing companion. He is sweet, funny, and has enough personality to fill the room despite his small size. Mr. Personality (Pablo) would love for his furever family to live in a home and not in an apartment nor a condominium as he tends to be quite vocal.
Pablo has his very own Facebook page where you can follow his antics in his foster home: https://www.facebook.com/PabloCCRT/
If Pablo is the man for you and your family, please fill out an adoption application. You can purchase a sweater and/or blanket for him, or any of our other fosters dogs.

What a sweetheart! My dog Chico is also 4 and would love a friend. Looking forward to learning more about Pablo soon 🙂
Very handsome little guy. Looking for a chihuahua companion for my 6/7 year old long haired Trixie. We lost our little 2 pound Charlie at Christmas time. Pablo has the right colouring. Christine
Thank you for considering adopting from us! To get started, please complete an online adoption application form and once received, a CCRT volunteer will be in touch.
I am very interested in adopting him could you let me know as soon as he becomes available i lost my little girl about a year ago and i miss her so much
Please continue to monitor his profile for updates, as we learn more about him we’ll be sure to post here. Thanks for your interest in our handsome Pablo.
I’m interested to learn more about Pablo. He’s super cute, just right. When will he be available for adoption?
He is quite handsome, isn’t he? We don’t know when he’ll be available for adoption, but you can monitor his progress on his very own Facebook page here.
Pablo’s beautiful soulful eyes spoke to me. He looks like he needs someone of his own so much. I lost my little Taz, age 13, very suddenly and unexpectedly on April 2, my birthday. I miss him every minute as does my Boston Terrier Feya from Boston Terrier Rescue whom I have had for almost 3 years.
We are sorry to hear about Taz, losing our furry family is never easy. You may wish to follow Pablo’s antics on his very own Facebook page here.
Hello, I am interested in Pablo and notice that the information on him is dated back in April. I would really like to know how he is doing.
Thanks for asking about Pablo! To get real time information about him, Pablo asks that you follow him on his very own Facebook page here.
I watch with amazement the great work Pablo’s Foster Mum is able to do with socialization issues. I have a little Chi/Jack rescue who appears to have missed her socialization window. She’s doing much better now with people and behaves quite appropriately with my big dog but OTHER dogs ??? Apoplectic !!!
Off the chart !!! What’s your secret ??? I feel sorry for the dogs we’ve tried to work with 🙂
Yes, Pablo’s foster mom works magic with our foster dogs! If you wish to learn her secrets (I’m sure there are many!) you’re best to email us at info@ccrt.net and your message will be forwarded to her directly. Thanks!
