My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

"Tall and distinguished ... rugged and handsome ... that's Giovanni! He's incredibly good-looking and garners admirers wherever he goes! He's a 3 year old Rhodesian ridgeback/lab mix weighing about 75 lbs who needs a special someone to give him the loving and quiet home he craves. He adores toys and the 'squeakies' can keep him amused for hours on end; he does well with other dogs and very much needs a playmate with whom he can wrestle and play chase. He's always up for car rides and walks during which he is always vigilant for his archenemy .., the squirrel! In Giovanni's past life, he didn't receive the care and attention he deserves; as a result, when he bonds with his 'special someone', his loyalty and devotion are absolute. You will never find a dog that will love you more! Because he wasn't properly socialized when he was young, he is somewhat tentative with strangers and in new situations so will need someone with patience and consistency to help him gain the confidence he lacks. Because of this timidity, he will need a calm & structured environment and would probably be overwhelmed in a home with children younger than 12. Giovanni's adoption fee is $150; he's neutered, microchipped and current on vaccinations."
