Gotti

Hardest decision I have ever made but I’m desperately seeking a new fur-ever home for my sweet boy. He’s 5 years old and his name is Gotti.

Gotti is:
✅ Great with all dogs (unsure about cats, I’m allergic)
✅ Great with Kids
✅ Very personable and compassionate
✅ Kennel trained
✅ Potty trained
✅ Loving, sweet, and full of potential and love

He is initially skittish of people, so he like you to approach him to show him you’re ok too (treats are great) Gets scared of yelling (just being forthcoming)

He loves walks, but he does still pulls on the leash a bit when excited. He loves to run and be outside but sleeps indoors.

He has some separation anxiety and He’ll need a home that’s gentle, wholesome, and consistent. Would do great with a small family that is calm and structured. But could also do very good with a single person household that gave him stimulation and activity. He finds comfort in his companion and sometimes just in his kennel.

Despite of his few challenges, he has truly been the perfect, most protective loving and loyal dog for me. He deserves a person or a family who will love him not in spite of his sensitivities, but because of them

If you think you could be that family, or know someone who might, please reach out.

He comes neutered, up to date on shots, and with his kennel.
