Palaka
Santa Barbara, CABreed: Wire hair Terrier mix
Weight: 20 lbs
Age: 8 years old
Gender: Male
Hi! I am Jordan (actually a certified dog trainer- www.sbdogs.com) and my doggy’s name is Palaka (which means snowball in Hawaiian). We rescued Palaka during covid and he has come to be a little angel! This is the most mellow dog I have ever had/worked with… he might be part sloth! Although, he loves his walks and the beach. He will give a quick hello to all dogs. He is a bit partial to smaller dogs but handles all with ease. He is an older man, so he stays pretty aloof and ignores high energy dogs. If they are in his grill, he will gently let them know he isn’t into it. He loves belly rubs and FOOD! He is VERY food motivated. He will shake, spin, kiss… and he will wait until released for his food.
