Alazor

Alazor Is looking for a new home! He is great with people especially those who are respectful of his personal space. He doesn't take much to warm up. He is not cuddly per se but he will let you know he loves in his own special way. He is selective with dogs but he has furry friends he loves to play with. Needs to be in a house with no children and better if not approached by kids. He doesn't actively dislike them but they make him nervous.
He is trained and loves to be trained even daily. He loves to hike and play frisbee outside but he also loves to be lazy on the couch. He has a soft tissue injury that occasionally flares up if he sprints too hard but it's not common and resolves with some anti pain meds. He doesn't love the vet but he is fortunately healthy.
**He is our bestest boy and we wouldn't re-home him in a million years if he didn't bite our son once in 1 year of our son's life. It was a lap in attention of me and my husband but unfortunately we think he will live his best life in a house with adults only. We've had him for almost 6 years so he is a great dog but our circumstances have changed and we hope he'll find someone that will love him for the rest of his life.
Contact us to know more about him. We have so much more to say!
