My story

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

Tristan is young, possibly 3, he was found on a busy highway. He was so matted that we had to have him shaved to the skin. He is precious and quite stunning but he has a quirt. He is very insecure with other dogs and will snap at them. I spoke to a trainer and she recommends that he go through confidence building. This is a program offered through PDX(a training facility). He is so sweet,rides perfectly in the car and is wonderful with every 2 legged person he meets. His issue is with other dogs and stems directly from his many months on his own. God only knows what this little guy encountered while on the streets. I shutter to think of the fear he must have felt. This is something that is fixable with consistent training,understanding and patience. We are firm on the guidelines of his adoption. Training is a requirement & will set him up for success. Please only experienced pet owners need apply. Contact me to request an application.
