Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Tony is a special needs dog and must be adopted by a behaviorally savvy adopter. His adopter must agree to sign a bite waiver and be committed to providing him with a safe and structured home. He has a low bite threshold and has snapped at and bitten people when in situations that make him anxious. Due to his unpredictable behavior, he should be the only pet and in a home with no children.
This is Tony. He is 8 yrs old; He was never leash trained and may have to wear a harness, modified a bit so he can't slip it, because he has a little cough that may indicate a tracheal problem. He is great with the other dogs so far. With people he is a fighter and a biter if pushed. Probably mostly to lack of handling and the most basic of training. So a bit of a bully who needs to be pushed out of his comfort zone a little bit at a time, every day, all day long. He wants to be with people, counts on people, will get on our lap, and always comes when called when we are outside.
