I have a very sweet boy that I rescued 2 years ago. When I first got him, he was underweight and had never been to a vet before. I got him up to date on all vaccines and preventions, and helped him gain weight and loved on him so he could trust people again. He is healthy and energetic now and loves people, but is still scared of other dogs. I work 10 hour days and don't get him outside as much as he needs and don't take the time to work on socializing him with other dogs. He is fully potty trained. He is the biggest cuddle bug. And he loves to play fetch. He will make a wonderful companion for someone who had the space and time for him! Please email me with any questions. I am serious about finding him the very best home and I will take as much time as needed to make sure that it's a great fit. Thank you so much for reading. God bless you!
