German Shepard & Black Mouth Cur Mix. Needs to be rehomed because of financial constraints. Unable to provide correct care and training. We have a baby on the way and all our limited funds have gone to that. He has become alittle food aggressive with other pets and because of this his quality of life has gone down cause we must kennel him a lot more. We cannot afford to get him the training he deserves to fix these issues.
