Ramsay is a rescue that was originally from Georgia. We adopted him at 8 months old. He has a stub tail, he came that way. He’s a bit chubby, likes the last bite of whatever you’re eating. He hasn’t spent much time with children and would probably do best in a home with no, or older, children. He might do okay with a chill dog, but isn’t up for play days or socializing with others. He’s strong and needs to be leashed or fenced in or he will follow his hound nose anywhere. Loves to be outside sniffing! Good to walk with if you aren’t in a hurry. Would make a great pal and always up for a ride. He’s a sweet guy! Our grandson has developed a severe allergy and that’s the only reason we’re trying to find a perfect home. We are willing to help with getting him settled in with food, his meds, etc.
